IDACAMPER
With our warm and dry season coming to an end, the wife and I decided to hit the Trail of the CDA in northern Idaho before it was too late.
We are avid road cyclist, commuting 5 days a week with day trips on the weekend, and an occasional touring run. This trip was a simple up and back, overnight trip.
Starting in Plummer, Idaho and ending in Wallace, Idaho, and back again. 138 miles round trip.
With the weather being very unpredictable this time of year, we ran pretty heavy (for us), packing a good deal of extra clothing that more than likely would not be needed, but if needed, we couldnt live without.
The weather up here can turn from a sunny 65 degrees to a wet and wintery 35 in a heartbeat.
On to the photos!
Traditionally my wife sets the pace on the flats, and I take over on the climbs.
Lots of tracks on the trail, but little wildlife to be found.
Bear prints here.
Always on the lookout for Moose. They are very common on this trail, though we didnt see any on this trip.
Stopped for a break in Silver Valley at this memorial park.
Arrived in the afternoon at our fancy (yeah right) hotel :sombrero: In beautiful Wallace Idaho.
