The Route of the Hiawatha is one of the top Northern Idaho attractions. The 15-mile Hiawatha bike trail near Wallace, Idaho, might seem like it’s best left to serious bikers, but in actuality, it’s one of the most tourist-friendly things to do in North Idaho. For one, you can easily rent bikes from Lookout Pass or e-bikes from Smokehouse E-Bike Rentals. Secondly, it’s all downhill! That’s right, the 15-mile bike ride takes you on a downhill journey through the scenic Bitterroot Mountains and includes biking through pitch-dark train tunnels and sky-high trestles. You’ll want to be sure to have headlamps and warm clothing that you don’t mind getting a little muddy. The best part…if you don’t want to go back uphill, there’s a shuttle that will take you and your bike back to the top. It’s a fantastic choice for adventurous travelers and families. The trail is typically open from May to September.
