Bottleneck Lake and Snow Lake

08/31/22

This is a great alpine lake, nice camp spot at the lake with a fire ring. Popular trailhead as you start snow and bottleneck at the same place and it splits off down the trail a bit. Remember you’re in bear country and be prepared to change your plans. We’ve been grunted at on 2 separate occasions. Once near the beginning of the trail and once at the lake.

Cooks Lake

Cooks Lake located near Bonners Ferry, Idaho is a great destination for relaxing or bringing your fishing pole (whether fly fishing or using a spin rod -- don't forget your fishing license). You're able to gain access very close access to the lake (especially on quads or side by sides) or you can park and walk roundtrip 1/3 mile to the lake. This is a great spot to bring the whole family.

Harrison Lake Trail

Hike the Harrison to Beehive Lake Lower Traverse

You will follow the Pack River Road no. 231 for about 21 miles until you reach the trailhead. For this loop, you have a few options: Leave your car at the Beehive Lake trailhead and walk to Harrison Lake trailhead so when you are done you can jump right in the car, leave your car at the Harrison Lake TH and have to walk the extra mile or two at the end of your hike, or if you are bringing multi...

Hike to Beehive Lakes

To get to the trailhead, drive north on highway 95 from Sandpoint and turn left onto Pack River Road near the gas station.

The road was passable but I would recommend 4 wheel drive.This hike begins at 4,420 feet and climbs 6,460 feet in 4.5 miles. The trail leads through a thick forest with views of ...

Roman Nose High Mountain Lakes

Your journey will start with a rural drive about 60 minutes from Sandpoint, ID. Once you hit the dirt road, hold on because its quite the bumpy drive (AWD vehicle is recommended). You will continue on a dirt road for nearly 20 miles, however, don't let this halt your journey, the drive is incredible with amazing views and pull offs along the way. Once you finally reach the trailhead you will b...

Two Mouth Lakes

Start at Two Mouth Trail #268 as it goes north along an old logging road. The trail then heads west following Peak Creek before bending back to the south. The trail narrows, alternating between dirt and boardwalk, while meandering west toward a viewpoint of the giant granite slabs of the Selkirk Crest. You will reach the top of this crest at around mile 3.6, where you can check out amazing view...
