Beautiful area! Thanks for sharing!
Wow...another great video...definitely adding binoculars to the basket/ look forward to next tour👏👏
Excellent!! My family and I cycled that same path with ACA a few years ago. It was our best family vacation ever - it's so great to see it all again, thank you, guys!
I love the way you guys chronicle these rides. It feels like a travel channel for cyclists. Showing the map let’s people kind of get their bearings. Don’t be afraid to show minutia like parking, camping, water, etc. good stuff!
Loved this. I could feel the joy.
Lovely! The Trail of CDA is definitely on my to-do-list, thanks for this video!
I just rode this entire trail on Saturday! I saw a moose near Pinehurst, too! You gotta get further away from the lake to see them.
Ditto! Rode the whole loop in late June. We saw moose and calves in rose lake. And heard wolves near pinehurst.
Thanks for doing this video. My wife and I stopped there last week. Rode into Harrison. Great camping/riding adventure thanks to you! You guys are awesome!
I live on the east coast and found this trail while researching routes across the country. Thanks so much for documenting! I really want to do this and the John Wayne Pioneer Trail.
Awesome ride!
It’s a great ride, I loved it!
My brother lives up there. My son and I definitely need to come out there and ride this trail. This looks awesome.
Your bikes are perfect rigs, well done!
Beautiful!
Ha ha, she will still be mocking you while she uses your binoculars! Love it! I started carrying some with me and the friend I ride with a lot has used them...she says she needs some too!
I love this video! My husband and I have this on our radar for hopefully this year (2021) if not next. I love the way you two ride...maybe because that is the way I ride. To take time to feel my surroundings and see things. Okay, moose is on my list of MUST SEE! P.S. Laura, heard you on the Girls Gone Gravel podcast! Great job! I don't know you all but I love you both!
We have been to Harrison, idaho. 2times gorgeous ! Been on the bike trail from there .
Nice, what great timing. I was planning on checking out this stretch next month!
Great vid!
Man you guys go to the most coolest beautiful places
Awesome, enjoyed this video Russ. Birding is fun - once you catch the bug, it becomes a life long love affair.
Love these videos! Bird life
Rocking those Crocs Russ!
Great trail, beautiful scenery and wonderful footage as always. . I do enjoy a leisurely ride as much “putting in the miles”, maybe even more so. Oh and another Crocs spotting, way to go bro’!!!
Youre living the dream
Heyburn’s a great place. Love that area.
Loved it! I ride with a monocular for wildlife spotting. It’s wonderful addition, now I rarely ride without my “farlooker.”
Great looking places you,ve got over there! I,ve been riding local abandoned railroads lately. We have The Savonian railroad here in Eastern Finland. Some of it is straightened over the decades so the left over parts of it are mostly in good condition and they are good gravel roads.
Good on you for getting out. That area has been on my TDL, as I passed north of there (past Clark Fork and Sandpoint and Priest Lake) last year and didn't appreciate the nonexistent highway shoulder and poor sight lines on the Northern Tier.
The San Juans (in WA) are a good choice for socially distanced bike touring this year.
Hello from Fullerton, Ca. I enjoyed this tour. I'd love to visit Idaho, soon.
Have to admit. That looks gorgeous.
Beautiful
saludos de Argentina, great video, thanks.
Thanks for the video, had this one scheduled for this summer but who knows.
Man, such a nice path. I would love to have this in my area nice and flat.
Its never a shame to ride on tarmac or perfect prepared pathes. This path ist not less pedaled but its so nice and thanks for sharing your relaxed days outside in this Cyclist-specific environment and showing the trail. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland
I DID THAT TRAIL !!!! the other way, downhill :),, that stretch along the lake is a dream ride ..
Great vid by the way. Your channel hits a lot of the buttons of how I ride a lot now. Although I still mountain bike, I seem to be gravitating to alot of gravel latelly.
That was cool
My husband and I rode the entire CdA last year on a ride from Spokane to the Tetons. Loved the section you rode. We stayed at the marina campground in Harrison. I'm also cursed to not see Moose. We rode the marshy area in the morning, no sightings of Moose, a lot of other birds and animals.
Moose everywhere in background of footage :-) Nice-n-chill
yes! great trail! have seen a moose or two. had to wait one out. crossing the bike trail.
Bike birding! We have some nice places here that see migratory birds from far away visit. Some gravel roads wind through it, and it's possible to take some small binoculars and see some incredible diversity. And, bikes are less visible, and not noisy. A great way to spend some hours out in the ope air, and usually not many other people! Another plus! Nice video. That's a great pace to ride. Soak up the scenery and the silences, and see an area cars don't let you do.
That bridge was a swing bridge, it would rotate rather than lift for passing boats. When the trail was built the swing section of the bridge was raised to where you see it now to allow boat traffic and ramps were built up on either side on top of the original trestle.
will add that ride to my list for next time I'm out that way.
We have done TheTrail of the Couer d Alenes ride.Wonderful nice scenery lots of history.enjoy.🚲🇨🇦
Cycling in Crocs! Nice!
This route was on my June list... Covid concerns scared us off. Thanks for sharing!
Osprey's are so cool!!
The ACA group camped at those spots at the Marina on the Idaho Relaxed tour I was on in 2010
fun!
I've just discovered your channel and love your laid back 'gravel casual' ethos.I'm over in North Wales in the UK and the land hereabout is not unlike a lot of the places you visit, like Oregon. Lots of forests, mountains and hills.I've just got back into mountain biking and I've just ordered a gravel bike from a small bike maker in Bristol, England. Temple Bikes...check em out. I'm looking forward to doing some longer trips on the new bike when it arrives. Looking forward to digging into your back catalogue and keeping up with your new stuff.
Hard to believe this is the same country try that is portrayed in the news media! In a good way of course 🌞
yeaaaahhhh you're in my neck of the woods.
You are a goner with birding. I did did my Spring Bird Count route on Kona Splice Dad bike because it was too long to walk and too crazy traffic wise to do solo (COVID-19) with a car. Best numbers ever on the route in years in species and total birds. Kona ‘cause it is the grocery commute bike with pan-yers for iPad, books, and big glass.
Don't forget the moose spray!
I've been trying to make #bikebirding a thing for years! Its the best way to bird watch.
Guys: I've been carrying a small pair of Nikon binocs on my mountain and gravel rides for a while now. One piece of unsolicited advice - don't carry them in a bag on top of a rigid mounted rack, and if you do, put a lot of "cushiony" stuff under them. Binocular optics are very precisely mounted, and not many are shockproof - although the ones you have look pretty robust. I had mine in the bottom of my trunk bag once, and wasn't paying attention, and bashed thru a big pothole. When I tried using them again after that, the optics were out of alignment. Now I only carry them in my framebag or hydration pack. Everybody I let use them says "those are awesome - I need to get a pair!" but they never do. LOL
Good to know!
See if you can hit the Route of the Hiawatha on your way home. It's soooo worth it. Hope you brought lights.
I heard the Centennial Trail is a good one
Russ, any plans to come through Boise anytime soon? Daniel from Tumbleweed keeps coming to visit you, I would have thought you would have been here by now! Would love to see a Boise video.
Has someone been reading a few too many comments under the "why mechanical disc brakes are better" video? :D
by smelterville i see moose all the time near the trail
What tires are you using here? I've gone from 700x23 to x25 to x32 and recently to x38 since discovering your channel.
Where did you get your small watercolor kit?
I did it with old school Center Pulls. Go figure.
Moose is a funny word - like sheep, the singular and plural are pronounced the same. But you're more like to spot moose in the early to late AM.
I think I have the bug for bad ideas. I saw those Crocs and thought "what would it take to install spd cleats onto those?"
"...a little sketchy doing this one handed..." Yep, it's awkward enough holding a camera or a beer while you're biking, not only for controlling the steering but especially for braking. Granted, I ride flat country so I do not need a climbing gear, so my setup wont work for hilly country, but I've got the solution for flat country. I use an 8 speed internally geared hub with a coaster brake in addition to my cable actuated vee brakes. Contrary to popular belief, a coaster brake is quite effective, especially when paired with traditional hand brakes. The coaster brake is "ambidextrous" in that it allows you to hold your camera or beer in either hand and brake with your feet when needed. Riding in sandy conditions, it's the only brake that doesn't get sand in it to grind the rotors or rims. Come down to Florida this winter and do some bird-biking in Ding Darling and the Everglades.
"Used the binoculars on them" sounds weird to me. As though the fish might be like, "no, anything but the binoculars!"
I would actually watch a bin buying guide video from Russ. After paddling for a few days in Ontario recently and getting to use a friend's pair, they really are a fun and useful tool to have on hand for outdoor adventuring. Looking for something compact and relatively affordable
Is there much uphill on the section to Harrison? I'm thinking of going, but I'll be pulling a kid on tag-a-long trailer and just got back on a bike after a ten year hiatus, so I'm a little out of shape!
It’s pretty flat except for the hill from the trail to town.
Hate to be the 'gearhead' when the scenery and ride is so great, but is the super loud freehub from the Hunt wheels on Russ' bike or Laura's? Almost too distracting, but sounds cool!
Most likely Laura's White Industries hubs.
A bit of Dumonde freehub grease quiets my White hubs nicely. Give that a try.
Keeps the bears away.
Path Less Pedaled oh nice!

You should ride up Rock Creek road if you want to see a moose.
As bikers, how do you guys feel about electric mobility devices such as the unicycle style and onewheels?
You need sharp eyes and ears to spot a moose. They can be very close to you and you will not see them. However you might hear them as they pull branches and eat. :)
I have been very interested in those binoculars for a while. Even thought the brand escapes me, How do you like them so far?
Great for a travel pair to knock about.
If watching birds is "birding", but catching fish is "fishing", then what do we call fish-watching?
Sea-ing.....lol
Oof...
Isn't "fishing" mostly just watching fish anyways?? :P
@@ArthurFellig Yep, watching them clean off the hook.
Diving
(Gravel specific ;)
Twitcher now?
Oh I wish we could ride up East this year... the covid has us not traveling this year! Soooo wish we could be there! So cool to see you guys NOT wearing masks while riding. People be fallin out from heat stroke and lack of oxygen here thinking they have to wear a mask while riding in Texas. There is NO reason to wear them while riding!
plural of moose is moose
Y'all got a great kit, but yer hubs are noisy as. Keep up the good work.
Keeps the bears away
@1:05 According to closed captions, Russ is getting into birthing as a new hobby. Good luck with that!
Starts with the brake jokes... Too bad those unsafe ones are all sold out.
Amazing we’ve lived so long riding cable brake bikes.
@@PathLessPedaledTV After a mineral oil mishap, I looked forthe Paul Brakes you reviewed -- but they were sold out everywhere I looked (backordered). I see upsides of them. This looks to be a family friendly route and area. Thanks!
No masks in Harrison? Lol. Welcome to Idaho. And we wonder why our COVID-19 rates are spiraling out of control?
You call this cannel as part of non competitive part of cycling and still you guys ride with a bike with drop bars. I don't understand what is with drop bars on non race bikes. I just fail to understand
If it's comfortable, use it.
Drop bars aren’t just for racing 🤷🏽♂️ People race mountain bikes with flat bars. Go figure.
It's preference, I signed up for a local gravel grinder last fall and planned to do it on a hardtail. After doing some 3-4 hour training rides I realized that I was much more comfortable on a dropbar bike. I found a inexpensive steel frame gravel bike for the ride and haven't looked back.
@@PathLessPedaledTV what I want to know is do really dropbar makes a difference? I mean do you really use all the positions on it? Won't a flat bar with bar ends do the job?
@@PathLessPedaledTV I feel most people are going for drop bars because of the looks. What you feel?
Beautiful area! Thanks for sharing!
