Idaho...A place to roam and explore!

As a Transplant from that little town south of Coeur D' Alene, ID, they called it LA, I have been working Wildland Fire since 1988 in Northern Idaho and I would recommend following the "1910 Fire History" the Palous, St. Maries, St. Joe through Avery the valley of "Ghost Cedar Trees" it will give you a good since of the area and there are many things to do . . . . Bike the Hiawatha Trail that follows the old Milwalkie rails and Hike up a trail out of Wallace, ID to a mine entrance that Edward Pulaski, inventor of the "Pulaski" Fire tool and saved his fire crew at gun point during the 1910 fire storm.
These are a few of my favorites

Very nice. Looks like you folks had a great time and it reminded me of my trip through central Idaho in June 2010; it was a very nice trip except for the intermittent rains and the snow blockage on the roads I wanted to take. The only place I posted any type of report (and it was weak) was at city-data.com, since that is where I had received some of my pre-trip info.

Looks like I will try to see if I can put together a decent (though late) trip report of my travels back then.

Overall though, this thread makes me want to visit the area between Challis and Stanley, ID (and a bit to the NW of Stanley) next chance I get as that is the area that enchanted me the most. Tons of side roads, tons of fun!
