This is by far the best bike trails anywhere I have been in the world. We did the section from Plummer to Harrison Idaho today. Crossing the Chatcolet Bridge is my favorite part of this ride. We are starting a tradition of stopping in Harrison for some outstanding ice cream - and of course we feel guilty, so we burn off as many of the calories as we can.
