Before I moved to Idaho when someone mentioned Idaho I thought of this… I was vaguely aware Idaho had more to offer than acres of potato fields, but even coming from the state next door (Montana) I didn’t really know what to expect.

It’s Not About the Bike – Or the Name
When we were deciding on 2019 U.S. biking destinations our team here at Zephyr was in agreement that we had to add a tour that included the 72-mile Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes and the spectacular Route of the Hiawatha, both located in the panhandle of Idaho.

Biking in Idaho on Fantastic Trails
I set up and have several times run our Idaho Skating Adventure, which is absolutely beautiful. But each time I have been there, I have looked at the map and drooled over the Route of the Hiawatha, a rails-to-trails project on what was once one of the most scenic railroad lines in the country.

Peru and Idaho – Sold Out and New Trips
It is a rare year when we sell out a trip and add a new date for the same trip. We have tried that approach in the past but in most cases, the new date just doesn’t sell well. I am not sure if it is because the new date is not listed in our Continue Reading →
Idaho Skating
It was the second day of the tour and I was blown away by the comments I was hearing. “That was a perfect day.” “Absolutely fabulous.” “This is the best skating tour I have ever done.” Now, we often get great comments like this or, frankly, we wouldn’t be in business.
