    When I rode from Coeur d'Alenes to Spokane and back, I didn't know about the Hiawawatha Trail. Oh, well. There's this Spring.

    I did the Hiawatha ride. We camped in St Regis. It is a ride everyone should do. It is historic, easy and beautiful.

    Man oh Man, every time I think I’ve found my favorite video you go and create an even better one. Looks like you had a great time with all those “old” folks….Thanks for some great ideas.

    Great videos Jon! You really turned out a lot of content in the last two years. I just found your McCall mountain biking video when I was searching for what mountain biking was like in McCall. Anyway great videos.

      Do it! Fly into Spokane and rent a car. Hit Coeur d'Alene, Wallace and the Hiawatha.

    This looks amazing. I would definitely wanna do the bike tour in Idaho after watching this video but I'm a solo rider and probably doing this on my own and in regular bike. You are creating amazing videos. Well done, thanks 👍

    • @JonConti
      @JonConti  2 роки тому +1

      You could do it solo! The shuttle helps but you don't need it.

    What a great narration! The filming was superb ! I had a chance to go to The Hiawatha trail bike ride, but August fires made it hard to breathe. Thanks for the tours

    When did you go? Looks like you hit ideal weather

    You should walk the Idaho's Centennial Trail end-to-end I will warn you it's going to take you a few months to do it. But I guarantee you it would be the best hike you probably ever took in your life. The 1,311-mile Idaho Centennial Trail (ICT) weaves through the most scenic portions of Idaho’s wild country, from high desert canyonlands, ghost towns, open prairies, high Mountain altitudes through the Sawtooth mountain range to wet mountain forests in North Idaho. what won't you see? What want you discover?

    Great video. Did the Hiawatha a few times up and down in boy scouts. Always a fun time. Our scoutmaster would blow one of those wooden train whistles while in the long tunnel at the top! =p

    • @JonConti
      @JonConti  2 роки тому

      Ha! I bet that scared a few others in the tunnel 😆

  • @rdkuless
    @rdkuless 2 роки тому +1

    riding thru those long, wet, cold tunnels, you might want to throw on a jacket covered by a plastic garbage bag.. you can get really wet and muddy when the tires kick up what's in the tunnel.. And have good batteries in your headlight to see where your going.. Bring a back up for the return trip..

  • @matthewsinger
    @matthewsinger 3 роки тому +1

    It's the second longest tunnel in the rail to trail system. The longest is Snoqualmie pass, and if you haven't ridden that, you need to.

    • @JonConti
      @JonConti  3 роки тому

      Damn! I blame our guides for that faulty information 😩I'll have to ride Snoqualmie and rectify this!

    • @matthewsinger
      @matthewsinger 3 роки тому

      Interestingly enough, the Snoqualmie Tunnel is on the same historic rail line as the St. Paul Pass tunnel (Haiwatha Trail) and the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes. If the Palouse to Cascade trail ever gets completed, you'll be able to ride from the Seattle suburbs all the way into Montana.

    Never been there myself, but I have drove a Train fololwing the exact trail from Avery to Drexel in a simulation with accurate recreation, such a shame the rails were removed but at least the trestles and catenary poles remains as a sign of the glorious Milwaukee Road Railway and the engines that challenged the grades of the path

    • @JonConti
      @JonConti  2 роки тому

      You should visit Wallace and ride the path. A lot of good history there. Along the bike path is a ton of signs and photos kind of a tour through the railroads history. I think you'd dig it.

    • @boosteraxledoesstuff2769
      @boosteraxledoesstuff2769 2 роки тому

      @@JonConti I definetely will! If your curious about the Layout/Map of the Train Simulator that I used, its called Avery-Drexel, literally that 2km/1.2 mile long tunnel you went was faithfully recreated in the game.

    Smelterville near Wallace is the real mining town where they have smelters to melt down iron ore..
    My sister lived in Wallace before she and her family moved to Kellogg..
    my only transportation is a Recumbent Etrike.. i would move near by area except i would not have transportation during the long winters with 4 feet of snow.
