Coeur d'Alene

Visitors' Center - just south of exit 13 of I-90 is the Coeur d'Alene Visitor and Convention Services' Visitors' Center. Exit onto N. 4th Street and just a half block south of the Interstate is a street angling off to the right. This is signed as 3rd Street but it takes you to N. 3rd. Continue south on N. 3rd for 4 blocks and the Visitors' Center is about mid block, on your right, at 1621 N. 3rd Street. Phone (toll free): 1-877-782-9232 - or - view their web site at Coeur d'Alene VCS.

Fantasy in Lights - Almost no one wants to drive across the country on I-90 in mid Winter but, just in case you are here during the holiday season, you certainly do not want to miss their Fantasy in Lights show. We just though we'd mention it, just in case. Get specifics and schedules from the Visitors' Center. 1-877-782-9232.

Tubbs Hill - This small, solitary peak at the south end of town fronting Coeur d'Alene Lake features a very nice, 3.2 mile walking trail which loops around Tubbs Hill. Enjoy great views of the lake plus a pleasant stroll through the woods.
  Take I-90 exit 15 and follow I-90 Business (Sherman Avenue) to S. 3rd Street. Turn left, cross the tracks and drive to the parking area at the end of the street.

Coeur d'Alene Lake Scenic Drive - Here is one of the most scenic drives  in the region. If eastbound on I-90, take exit 22 and head south on ID-97. This is a good road and follows the east shore of Coeur d'Alene Lake to ID-3 at the southern end. At ID-3, turn left and follow it north, past another chain of lakes, back to I-90 at exit 34.
  If you are westbound on I-90, take exit 34 and follow ID-3 southbound to ID-97. Turn right on 97 and follow it, northbound, back to I-90 at exit 22. There are about 6 or 7 mile at the south end of ID-97 where the highway climbs up and runs along a plateau. Watch out for deer and other larger animals along here. Total drive about 58 miles.
