Nature & Parks
Mountain wilderness with glaciated peaks, plus hiking trails & a variety of outdoor recreation.
Wife and I have been to most parts of Montana but our first time here. We think this part of Montana is the most beautiful. And that is really saying something. Vistas and rivers are so big and powerful. Wildlife is everywhere. Bear spray is a must by the way.
People are friendly to visitors. Take a good camera, hiking shoes and a fly rod.

Just absolutely gorgeous!! We definitely want to return next year. The spaces are roomy and they have clean restrooms and a trash dumpster at the entry of the park. This was one of our very favorite campgrounds on our trip.

The KNF in NW Montana is a 2.2 million acre wonderland - It leaves little to be desired. All of your outdoor pursuits should include a visit here!

Truly a magnificent and beautiful place of Earth. The cleanest air and water with watching bald eagles as an added bonus! Makes me appreciate my home, Montana.

We stayed at Graves creek campground and was a great experience. Perfect for getting away from the noise and into the wilderness. The campground is small with 5 very large spaces to set up. There's one relatively clean toilet area that was in need of tp, by the end of the weekend. We're not too sure how often rangers come through the area to check on things. The river offers soothing white noise at night. There's also containers to lock up food stuff to keep it away from bears and critters.

This was our first time visiting Montana. Given that we live in the Pacific Northwest, we got more than we were expecting coming here and we'll definitely be coming back here again.
Loved hiking in the forest. Beautiful views and amazing feelings.

I mean....it's a forest. How can you dislike it? And if you do dislike it....like why are you even here? The hike to the bridge was pretty easy. Passed a couple families with kids; one had a stroller. I would def recommend your kids be able to walk. The stroller posed a real difficulty for the parents it seemed.

The only most gorgeous place on earth!!!! The people here are very sweet!!! Beautiful country. Great Food and drinks and music at "The Famous Dirty Shame Saloon"
We stopped here as we really enjoy the BC Parks sites as they are basic, but affordable ($21). Each woodland pitch is private and has the usual picnic table and firepit (wood purchased on site). It has pit loos dotted around the site, which were well stocked. It closes for the season in a few days time and there was plenty of space. There was loads of small wildlife around and we saw our first Pileated Woodpecker. The thing which amazed us was the wide array of mushrooms which were stunning. Great site and with 2 gas stations, a fab soap store and a just closed ice cream store make for a great visit a little earlier in the year too.

Phenomenal campground! The sites are large and well spaced allowing for privacy. There were outhouses, water, and bear proof garbage and recycling cans throughout. The toilets were EXCEPTIONALLY clean. I usually absolutely ABHOR vault toilets for cleanliness reasons but these were so incredibly clean, there was zero concern at all with using them. I seriously mean, they were so clean it looked like no one had used them!
The ranger was super friendly! I couldn't believe this place was only $21 a night for all that you get!! Highly recommended! There is a train that goes by, it went by once at 3 am ish and another time at about 6 am as far as I recall, but it didn't last too long.
Great campground!!

We went on the August long weekend with no reservations and we will managed to get a site. Sites were clean and spacious. Trees for our hammocks. The worst part was how close the campsite is to the railroad as we could hear the train and the whistle going by very late at night.
Cassidy Benson — Google review
Yahk Provincial Park is a great campground! Online reservations are required. I've you get there, you'll have easy access to campground toilets (vaulted toilets, no sinks, bring your own toilet paper), a picnic bench, camp fire pit, and a communal water faucet with non-potable water which you can boil to drink. Easy access to the highway!
Jason Yee — Google review
A nice clean campground- park ranger was really friendly - be prepared for a lot of bugs - I think they need to always be able to take credit cards. Typical provincial camp site with lots of trees and space between sites - there aren't any showers here and no power or water at the site but there is potable water available

Absolutely our biggest surprise on our first part of a trip. We planned to stay by the lake, but there was no available spot by the time we arrived. We kept going west and took Yahk Provincial Park as our next option. Daniel was very friendly, campground super clean as I had a feeling we are at some high end golf course (yes, all raked and tidy). The best value for money we spent in last month. Thank you

Beautiful area but if you are trying to sleep get ear plugs. When it not the rumbling of cars or nature's sweet but loud sounds then its the train. And when you think you finally get to sleep here comes another make sure your awake train. Loud is not the word.

We really enjoyed ourselves at the
Home Bar. We really loved the decor, and the old time feel of this place. We sat outside and watched my grandson play on an old fashioned tree swing and played the horseshoes, as we relaxed in the shade under a walnut tree! The service was good the servers were very friendly and quick. Although they could use a lesson or 2 on making mimosas, we enjoyed our short stay. I would recommend dropping by if you are ever near downtown Troy.

My first visit to the Home Bar was about 6 years ago. I happened by there on the way back from Sturgis on my Harley pulling a trailer and my beautiful dog Bella. We pulled in there and fell in love with Bruce & Sue’s place instantly! Bellied up to both the inside and outside bars and completely felt “at home”! The drink’s,food ,slot machines,Harley stuff, bartenders were all 5 star. Bruce even invited me to camp with my rig in his beautifully enclosed backyard. I’d been on the road more than a month and this was the best place that Bella & me had camped in along time. Fast forward toJust after Sturgis 2022. Again on the return from Sturgis. This time in my big MH. With 2 Harleys and a Chevy TB in tow! One guy started calling me Choo Choo,70 feet of craziness traveling down the road! This time , my wife Annie, Bella #2 (mini German pincher) arrived and it was the EXACT same hospitality. Thank you once again Homebar. Your are numero uno!

This is one of my ultimate bars to pop into whenever I can get to in the area. Great pool tables fantastic venue and of course the memorabilia on the ceilings and walls and of course the iconic cougars. Whether you're a biker or on a road trip we're just out for an afternoon run you need to stop in and see this place

What a lovely place to visit in Creston!
We were fortunate to have a sunny day so we could sit on the patio and enjoy a fall day. The view from the patio is lovely with rolling hills stretching south to the border and the fall colours just starting. We had a wine tasting one afternoon and came back the next day for lunch. Lunch is tapas style with several very tasty small plates. The menu was farm to table so you could experience what the surrounding farms could offer. White wines were very nice, no red wines available when we visited.
Definitely a place to return to on our next visit.
Sherry Jury — Google review
I loved the patio here and the tasting was so relaxed. The wines were delicious and the view was so beautiful. I saw some yummy looking charcuterie boards come out, I'd love to come back and try a few things on the menu another time.

Arrived on a hot Saturday right before noon and got a nice shady table on the lovely patio with great views (lots of reservations so consider making one). Really enjoyed the tastings, then a flight, and took in the views with a very nice charcuterie board. Great local selections on the board. Everything was excellent including the service. Some misting on the patio to keep things cool. Got two bottles to go. A nice summer rose (not too sweet!) and a Foch for a cooler day with some spaghetti and meatballs. For sure will go back.
I like Kokanee very much!! I was never closer to the Brewery as today. (Scotties RV Park) But unfortunatly the store is closed :(:(. Kind regards from a Swiss Kokanee Costumer

Beer beer, my Kingdom for a beer! drank beer all my life all over the world, just love Kootenay beer. Recently discovered a super ale Kootenay True Ale....Well ah must say folks, its a form of Nectar bought my first ones in Osoyoos BC my new home town.

So sad that we can’t get Kokanee here in Montana anymore other than the stuff brewed in St. Louis by Bud. It’s not the same as the beer that was brewed by Columbia Brewery in Creston and not nearly as good. I was trying to find out if their Apex Altitude beer was sold in Montana but can’t find that info anywhere. We miss the Creston brewed Kokanee a lot.

Good informative tour. I showed up late in the day yet they still offered to stay and give me a tour. I was able to see most of the beer can operation although the bottling operation was already shut down for the day, that was my fault. They gave me a complimentary beer while I waited for a few more people to show up then also gave me the free beer at the end of the tour.

Fun tour. Lots of merchandise you can buy. A free beer at the end was a nice bonus. Would have given it a 5 but they had no kokanee Gold available. My husbands favorite brew. He was very disappointed.
Wow! What a cool and well put together place to learn about Creston and area’s history. I love supporting little museums like this! Leave a good donation in the cash register when you go-these places run on donations!! Great little museum with a gift shop.
Kolby Miller — Google review
This is a cool place to take the kids while you're in Creston. It's a look back in time and how the people that called this place home survived and the ways they made their living.
The old miners tunnels, railroad and lumber machinery is mind boggling to think this is all they had and the ingenuity that they had to build these things. Now look at how modern technology has advanced from where it began.
As always leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

Friendly and knowledgeable staff. One young lady delayed her lunch to interact and play educational games with our kids.
My boys also loved the model trains on the upper floor which is a replica of Creston during the railroad era.
The museum captured the history of Creston and area very well. There's an extensive collection of farming equipment. The grounds are well maintained, including a heirloom garden.
Overall, a great place right off of the main road to spend a hour or two. Admission price is also very reasonable.

Laid-back riverfront hotel offering a casino & a spa, as well as an indoor pool & a restaurant/bar.
Great place to stay and play. Hotel was nice, clean, and staff was friendly. Comfortable beds. They offer room service and they even had bathrobes in the room.
The casino has 3 different rooms. 2 non-smoking and one for smokers and has a bar in the smoking area. The restaurant had great food. Also it was all very reasonable in price. Nice indoor swimming area too. I would revisit.

It gets hard to move around in there with people from all over makes it hard to relax. But.........! It means that the environment is very nice and everyone enjoys going there. I used to get coupons for different things which was nice. Haven't been able to visit as much as I like. You may think someone is paying me to say it but it's all around great for the things that hotels are to require. I hope they might read this and know that they are doing a great job.

So far so good. Checked in nice and easy. Plenty of parking. Room was on the second floor, thankfully there was an elevator. Room was clean and everything worked as intended. Only exception would be the power outlets are worn out and there are not enough of them near the bed.
Location is good, walkway to the downtown area is very convenient. I did take 1 star off, nothing the property itself can do, but there is a Railroad crossing just across the main road and BNSF honks about every hour. The community could file for a Quiet Zone from the Railroad if enough people complained.

Ya, I really like this place!
I'll give it a 5 if it goes the same on my return visit.
Dog friendly! My kid really likes the trains that pass at the back end of the parking lot.
The food was very generous! Tasted fresh.
Continental breakfast of sorts was excellent!
Clean room, hot shower with volume.
Friendly staff.
Lovely little old downtown was so fun to walk around and get beers and tasty treats from all the restaurants and the brewery.
Cool local history along the way.
You can walk away from your stroller on the sidewalk while eating and you don't have to worry about some jack-mule rear face pony boy STEALING it. 😉 Cool place. Cool town.

We didn't know what to expect since we hadn't been here before. We will for sure be going back. Rooms were clean and updated. Pool and hot tub were nice. Casino was fun and the restaurant was nice and food was good. Couple of the breakfast were free or of the menu was $3 off. Staff was nice. Worth it

What a beautiful place to escape to. They have thought of it all. As a Hilton member with diamond status and a professional traveler, these guys have more to offer than most other hotels. To me it's the small things that matter in a nice hotel stay. I was blown away with the real glasses and coffee mugs. Other hotels have styrofoam and plastic cups, I hate those; there is no class with cheap cups. The view was therapeutic. They offered robes to lounge in, and use to and from the spa and pool. The only other hotel that offers robes, that I've been to, is the Bellagio in Las Vegas. Kootenai River Inn also offers room service and I haven't seen that since before covid. Thank you guys for making my wedding anniversary stay special and offering all those special small touches.
Shana C — Google review
Absolute comfort and hospitality of the Kootenai people makes this stay one of the best in the PNW. We stayed in the Lodge and found our rooms to be impeccably clean. The restaurant located near the river Bank was our choice every night and morning. We found everything on the menu so delicious! My favorite was the Sweet Thai Chili Salmon. I am still dreaming of it. 😛😍
They have a mix of old and new games and I was not bored. Will always return to stay here when I am on summer vacation. Thank you for everything. 🥰

Angela G. — Google review
If you're confused by my rating - 5 stars on rooms, service, and location - the reason is simple. One of the main reasons I chose this facility rather than others in the area was the hot tub. The problem: the hot tub was not only unusable but, in my opinion, dangerous.
The first evening, my wife and I suited up to use the hot tub after a day of donating money to the machines and alas our soak lasted fewer than 30 seconds. The hot tub, which my wife noted was cloudy to the point you couldn't see the bottom , was *badly* over-chlorinated. We both got in, and in less than 30 seconds, our eyes, nose, throat and lungs were burning to the point of severe discomfort. Our eyes continued to burn and we both coughed for a full 2-3 hours after getting out. The next morning we went in the pool area and the hot tub appeared clear and didn't have the intense chlorine smell - but alas that evening it was right back to hyper white and badly over chlorinated. The chlorine level was so bad that my swim trunks very literally smell like a chlorine puck.
In short - the rooms were quite clean (albeit a bit oddly setup with the TV off to one side and the coffee maker having to be used on the bathroom vanity); the staff were all very friendly; and the location easily accessible. But when one of the major reasons for selecting a facility (in our case, the hot tub) is unusable and frankly dangerous - that warrants a hefty deduction in rating.

Had a hard time deciding whether to give it a two or three! The room was really nice! Very spacious nice bed beautiful view Over the River and the mountains behind it! The restaurant was pretty nice with good food and good service! The casino was pretty lame and the service in the casino was not only nonexistent but downright rude! Might go there and rent a room again but won't spend any other money there at the casino I'll spend my money elsewhere in Bonners Ferry!

It was a nice weekend getaway! The staff were very friendly and provided good service. The hotel was clean and the food was good. The restaurant specials were really reasonable priced with quality food! Even our free breakfast was above and beyond what we thought we would get.
The only disappointment we had was dinner Saturday evening. It appeared they were short staffed with an event happening next to the restaurant as well. It took a long time to get dinner and the server totally forgot to get my order as I only wanted dessert and needed a menu. When I finally ordered , it took 10 minutes for the server to return just to tell me they were out of what I wanted. By this time my guy was finished with his dinner. I was not happy and very disappointed, as i sat there for 30 minutes. Other than that experience, we really enjoyed our stay and will return.

Husband received free room coupon in mail and we decided to go up for a night. Made several appointments at their spa. Husband had to go to work and called to see if I could check in early. Made 3 hour drive to get up for my first spa appointment. Went to check in and the woman at the hotel desk I am assuming was the manager was one of the worst rudest people I have ever seen. Insisted that my husband had to check in although she saw the notes that he would not be arriving until late that night. She insisted that she would charge the room rate of $179 (they had been advertising all over television special room rates much much lower) until he got there and they would reverse the charge (which could take up to 10 days!!). The hotel is not worth that kind of rate. I was so stressed out that I refused to be treated like that. I told them I had no choice but to cancel. She insisted that they would charge the credit card and then reversed it. It didn't matter that he called to make prior arrangements although the notes were in the computer that I would be checking in early due to spa appointments. So sad that there is absolutely NO hospitality or customer service. I was so upset that I kept my first spa appointment but cancelled all my other ones for the following day and went and found another hotel to stay at for the night. Would I stay there again even if they offered my a free hotel? No, there are just as nice if not nicer places in the area for just as much or cheaper rate and has to have much better customer services......

Stopped by for a late lunch. I was seated WITHIN 2 Minutes with a river view.
My waiter first set me up with some sort of Slow Irish Death on Tap-Delicious!
I ordered Garlic Parmesan Fries with 2 types of Dip & Selkirk Chicken Fettuccine.
Between the Irish Death & fries, I had to pack up 1/2 of the Fettuccine.
Topped it off with a chocolate sundae.
I recommend this place for solo dining or a large company meal and/or Retreat.

The Best Western Plus exceeded our expectations by leaps and bounds. We just arrived home from 16 days in Africa. We stayed at some very nice resorts. The Best Western Casino and Spa was a business trip for us. Everything about the resort, the staff, the restaurant etc. was top notch and ever bit as good as our recent trip abroad. We will definitely be going back with our kids and grandkids. There is something for everyone at Kootenai River Inn.

This is a great hotel stay and they have a nice restaurant overlooking the water. Friendly staff and clean comfortable rooms… having grown up going to Vegas, this isn’t really much of a casino. Basically just slots and that’s it. we spent a couple days adventuring around the area and had a great time. Beautiful part of the country.

My stay at the best Western at the casino sucked we were told we would get a room with a river view with balcony when we got there it was no such thing it was a room facing a building that is being worked on and we were told we would get a champagne bottle with party favors that again was not the case we got a hat and to tell you I was looking forward to this getaway for my 29th anniversary with my man and things were not what was said to us was a disappointment then my husband try talking to Adam flack who was the general manager at least that is how he introduced himself and said that they couldn't refund anything back to us after we explained everything to him and the manager that was at the desk when my husband returned the keys and what really got me that morning there was a employee who was drunk and just stepped in front of my husband as he was in line to cash out and they are covering that up saying it was not a worker but his badge was in his pocket and was wearing a black and red vest and the cashier knew him and was just letting it happen which I feel was wrong in all aspects the customer should have better service than that the only thing I got from this is the customer service sucked from the casino to hotel service but the restaurant was amazing with the food.
Natasha Brooks — Google review
This is as gorgeous area and we had a river view room. The rest of this hotel and casino are extremely dated. I felt like I needed to deep clean myself and my stuff after leaving. Rooms are run down and the beds were horrible. I also don't like that you don't need a key to enter the hotel from outside or from the casino. Didn't feel safe. There are some updated casino games but not much luck for me. The pool and spa felt gross and I would not stay here again. Cute little town to visit though and maybe the best accomodations for the area.

Proprietor Lilian knows her wines and specializes in wines from the Pacific Northwest. My wife and I go there with some frequency, always enjoy ourselves and have been introduced to some great wines.
I can't say enough about Heart Rock, it's a gem in our little town and a wonderful addition to our community.

Great day trip to go up to the waterfall. Very easy hike and beautiful scenery. Bald eagle’s, deer, cranes and peaceful. Can’t go wrong.

Beautiful nature preserve with well maintained hiking/walking paths. If you're lucky, you may see moose or deer. We saw hawks, a bald ealge, and a variety of geese and ducks. It's a very nice hike up to Myrtle Falls. Easy enough for the whole family, and the views are worth it.

Very beautiful place. It has a mix of mountains, rivers/creeks and valley plains. The main attraction seems to be the trail to Myrtle Falls, but there is more to it than that.

Absolutely gorgeous! This is a great place to find some amazing views. You don't even have to hike if you don't want to, the drive up the mountain is amazing! Just make sure if you do want to drive UP, you should have an SUV or something similar, its good to have the ground clearance and AWD. I only drove halfway up, but it was still 10/10 views.

A great place for bird watches, plus if your up for a hike, there is a waterfall there as well.

Short, mostly smooth, sometimes steep, but always beautiful hikethrough the woods to Myrtle Falls.
Spotting scopes available at the rest rooms for viewing burds and wildlife in open areas.

A beautiful refuge in a gorgeous part of the country. I took the trail up to Myrtle Falls. The falls themselves are a bit hard to see due to trees but it was a pleasant short hike. The auto loop has a very well maintained road with a few wide spots. In all honesty the best time to visit isn't middle of the summer as there was virtually no waterfowl to be seen. My next visit will be for the fall bird migration when birds should be plentiful. All in all I had a nice visit.

New Years day the husband,pup and I went for our first hike. This was a great hike and beautiful. The walk to the waterfall is pretty easy and family friendly. Going up past the Falls the trail gets pretty narrow and was really slick (it's winter). The restroom at the bottom of the trail was really clean!
The Falls were beautiful and at the top it opens up and the view of the wetlands was breathtaking!!! Highly recommend!

What a beautiful and peaceful place. It takes about 15 minutes to hike to Maple Falls and it's such a serene setting. I highly recommend a visit.

Very beautiful area though not much to see at the reserve itself. Some interesting wildlife, such as beavers and deer, and a good variety of birds, osprey, bald eagles, peregrine falcon, pheasants, and many more Canadian geese than can be counted. Can recommend Myrtle Falls trail and the Kootenay River running nearby. The nearby river also has a great place to camp for free. Highly recommended.

With new construction, will create a challenge for waterfowlers for a few years. Not a place for hikers/walkers during the fall.

Beautiful area. Cool wingspan exhibit. We only saw birds. Good for canoodling.
This is a very pretty area to visit if you are ever in Creston British Columbia. The Kootenay River runs through this valley on its way into the United States and through the Middle of Bonners Ferry Idaho.
Enjoy the many paths and all of the wildlife while you're here and don't forget your camera, the scenery is amazing.
As always leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

My parents had a cottage on Pend Oreille lake. It was a beautiful setting and there were no bugs. Not one mosquitoes. The water has its source from icebergs, so it is very cold. This cold, clear water allows you to view fish swimming at depths of about 15 - 20 ft.

Such a big beautiful lake with lots of exploring. It's nice to go somewhere on the water with your boat and not feel like you are crowded. There is plenty of places to swim on the shore as well.

Lake Pend Oreille is a very big and amazing lake with immense beauty and very much to do all the way from Bayview to Sandpoint and along the north and eastern shore all the way to Clark Fork. Fishing, camping, hiking, boat tours, beaches and every type of water front activity all in one. It is a very deep lake at 1150 feet and still supports a Navy Submarine base that dates back to WWII. Bring your camera and batteries.

This was one of the most beautiful properties right on the water.unfortunately our reasons for being there sad and didn't use the place to our avantage. The bedrooms were gorgeous, the whole house beautifully decorated and our host made sure we had what we needed.the weather was warm the water col and blue. The kitchen easy to manuevr with three convections and microwave most stuff was stocked as far as dishes go maybe they could improve by having staple,spices and common used items on hand. I will ever hold this place in my heart. I'm hoping as God called My very best friend home this was a very peaceful place for her to be surrounded by people that loved her.she passed few days after we returned home.

A Northern Idaho Must-See!!
I had the pleasure of exploring this lake during a visit to the area. I had been to Northern Idaho many times and always wanted to see the lake. I have been close many times but always pressed for time. This time around I devoted a whole day to explore the lake. I started off in Bayview and checked out as much of the lake as the trails would allow. It was raining off and on that morning so many of the trails near Bayview were muddy and slippery. I didn't want to waste time so I headed up to Sandpoint and stopped at many of the lookouts off the highway around the lake.
There are many vantage points for viewing and boat launches as there are several homes, cottages, Inns and campgrounds around the lake. If you are a hiker there are several well-maintained trails around the lake and local outfitters and tour guides can take you many places around the lake. This scenery and views around this lake are priceless. You could spend a few hours or a few days taking in its splendour. This is a must-see destination in Northern Idaho and I can't wait to get back.

Anyone would love that lake and the hills and woods.
The campgrounds, not so great .
NO camp host around. They gave me the worst lot in Snowberrey. I have a Tioga! She told me, lotsa luck. U have to back unto a tiny drive with a big rock border! 35 bucks for a senior with no pass. No hook up to elec..the whole place is bulldozed so they can make a ton more money renting out those too close sites to peepl who like camping in a city atmosphere.

Lake Pend Oreille is one of Northern Idaho's deepest lakes at 1158'.
The lake is over 43 miles long and was once used as a submarine testing site many years ago during the war.
The lake was formed thousands of years ago by the glaciers that used to cover this area.
The area surrounding this beauty is full of things to do for the outdoor enthusiasts.
Hiking, backpacking, fishing, skiing (summer and winter) camping, sight seeing, hunting, swimming, photography, you name it and you will find it here.
As always, leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

A magical day on Lake Pend Oreille!
Review of Great Northern Nautical
Pending review
Looking for a magical afternoon or evening on one of America's premier lakes? Take a trip on glorious Lake Pend Oreille with Great Northern Nautical. Their stunning 50 foot vessel is only the beginning of an experience that will last in your memories.
As a local, we wanted to showcase our hometown and lake for our family, and our hosts Molly and Cameron did not disappoint. We are all still talking about it days later!
Cruising the south end of the lake we enjoyed spectacular views of waterfalls, rugged cliffs, long-abandoned gold and silver mines, and breathtaking mountains. And if wildlife is your thing, you might be lucky enough to see some of N. Idaho's resident population of golden eagles, bald eagles, osprey, mountain goats, bears, and more, although naturally, it's up to the animals on that front!
It was especially nice for our elderly passengers as they could choose to enjoy the scenery from either inside the luxurious third-level salon or outside from the roomy deck areas.
And let's just talk about the food. It wouldn't be stretching it to say we ooohed, ahhhed, and ate the entire time we were on board! It wasn't long after leaving the dock that the smell of fresh-baked bread wafted from the vessel's kitchen. That toasty bread (which was liberally topped with parmesan and garlic butter) was delivered by Molly just a short time later with olive oil and balsamic vinegar for dipping - a huge hit for my family of foodies. But that was only the beginning of a three-hour feast of delicious charcuterie including meats, cheeses, huge shrimp, fresh fruit, and crackers, all topped off with some celebratory lemon cake for my mom's 91st birthday and my retirement.
Cameron's expertise at the helm was only outdone by his knowledge of the lake and its features. He showed us locals there were still plenty of things to learn here despite the many hours we've spent on this water. First mate Molly charmed everyone, adding lots of local lore to our day. She also took the time to delve into our family histories in this area to share with her future guests.
To put it mildly (and I'm not one bit embarrassed about my enthusiasm here) we were absolutely WOWED by our tour, their hospitality, and their attention to detail. Great Northern Nautical is a first-class operation running cruises on the lake throughout the seasons. We will absolutely be back for a wintertime sail and we'll highly recommend their superior company to anyone and everyone we know.
Truly, they created a day we'll never forget. Bravo!
Laid-back lakefront park featuring a sandy beach & placid waters in a charming, picturesque setting.
Great public beach! Consistently clean and all amenities are well-maintained. Views of Lake Pend Oreille and surrounding mountains cannot be beat; easy walk to town and plenty of parking.

Great public park on the banks of Lake Pend Oreille. Public swimming, pets on a leash allowed, play park, boat launches, a few boat hook ups with power and electric, sand volley ball courts, pickle and tennis courts, snack shack, restrooms, and great parking all available. The covered picnic area features some really cool tiki inspired architecture.
John Sinclair — Google review
Great location, given that the city itself is separated from the lake by a river, freeway and railroad (who had that brilliant idea?).
Come for a day on the beach, bring your cooler, play some volleyball, watch the people.
The adjacent RV park is bleak but you can walk over.
Celebrate your family reunion at the pavilion.
Amazing views, relaxing it atmosphere, well maintained facility.
Get a smoothie at the snack shack.
Park closes at 11pm.

Incredible spot. I was only in Idaho for a couple days for work and I was searching for a nice spot to walk around and stretch my legs, I’m so happy I came here. I saw people enjoying having a swim, others having a picnic, listening to music, dancing, reading. It was just a lovely area full of people enjoying life.

It's an amazing place to be. It has a beautiful view of the Cabinet and Monarch Mountain Ranges. A nice hotel, bathrooms, basketball, volleyball, tennis, a playground, docks, and a marina. The one complaint that they have tried very hard to remedy was bird droppings. They've hired hunters and try to keep things clean.
Overall, it's always a good experience, and I enjoy coming here a lot!

The beach is absolutely beautiful.
We stayed at the RV park right across the street owned by the city.
Sleeping there is horrible😱 feels like every ten minutes a train is coming by,
Too close to the highway and train, very loud, the whole RV was shaking everytime a train came by.
The five stars are only for the beach and surrounding park. For the RV place it would be only 2 stars since it's totally overpriced as well🤷

Met friends there with his family. Great weather clean area with parking all around. Coming from Southern California, a beach with parking is rare. No drunks, really nice place to take your family.
The view of the lake was awesome! This is a destination spot for family fun in the sun. Did I mention the parking was free above? Great beach, great views, family fun, all for no charge!

This place is amazing! It's such a nice beach spot and has the great pavilion. There's a little dock you can jump off and into the water. It's super cool to see all the boats lined up and coming/leaving the peir. You could easily spend multiple hours here.
Taylor Carter — Google review
Free parking. Gorgeous scenery. Decent bathrooms. Pretty nice beach. Paved path. Benches. Mini Statue of Liberty. But difficult to move in the water due to the prolific waves from passing boats (Can be fun, though). Tiny dead fish skeletons floating on the surface. Lots of bird feces so bring beach shoes. No dogs allowed.

I had the opportunity to drive from Fernie, Canada to Standpoint, and it was a memorable journey. One of the highlights along the way was Hugh Lake, which boasts a picturesque beach and a sprawling playground area. The lake also offers boating options, which I highly recommend trying. However, to ensure a smooth experience, it's best to book your boating adventure in advance as availability can be limited.
Aside from the natural beauty of Hugh Lake, the adjacent area has even more to offer. There is a delightful downtown area nearby, filled with quaint shops and charming attractions. Exploring this area is a must, and it provides a pleasant change of pace from the outdoor activities.
Overall, Fernie to Standpoint was a fantastic drive, with Hugh Lake and its stunning beach and playground, the vibrant downtown area brimming with great restaurants, and the clean and inviting walking areas. It's a destination that offers a little bit of everything and a fantastic experience for visitors.

Absolutely beautiful. This is my favorite park ever. I drive 1.5 hours just to spend time here. It's clean. It's a safe place to be. I can relax and let the kids run around.
Schweitzer is a mountain resort that offers skiing, tubing, dining, spa services, and kid-friendly activities. Visitors have praised the beautiful terrain and well-maintained slopes but have raised concerns about limited parking capacity. Despite this issue, guests appreciate the lack of long lines for lifts and reasonable prices for food and drinks. The staff is described as generally happy, with manageable lift lines even on crowded days. The resort is also noted for its family-friendly environment and snowboarder-approved learner hill.
Not your average “local mountain”. Came for a weekend in February, and there were almost no lines for most of the day. The drive can be a bit treacherous in the snow going up the mountain, so I suggest you have four wheel drive in the winter. We really enjoyed the back side of the mountain, and you didn’t have to go too far off the beaten path to find fresh tracks a day or two after powder. Additionally, the price of food and drinks on the hill was very reasonable.

What a beautiful mountain!
Staff was mostly happy, perhaps not the most attentive bunch, but they clearly enjoy the job.
Lots of runs to choose from! Even on a fairly crowded day, lines were very manageable.
They have a parking lot lift that doubles as an epic learner hill. 100% snowboarder approved! Snowboarders have a notoriously difficult time learning on most bunny hills, they're just too flat. Not here!
Very family friendly!
Didn't check out the top restaurant, but the base has a cafeteria style set up with lots of seating and a bar upstairs.
Restrooms were a bit of a challenge. I found two at the base, one required stairs and the other was in the rental area, so busy and bustling in the opening and closing times.
All and all, it was a wonderful day and I have no legitimate complaints!

I am staying at the Selkirk Lodge. 3 days in on a 6 day trip. No ski lockers were available when I checked in an after checking numerous times still no ski lockers available. You can’t take them to your room so they are stored willy nilly in the baggage room. The baggage room is left open with no monitoring and people taking numerous skis out with no accountability. Also the rooms seem to have limited hot water for showers. Nothing like cold water in the middle of a warm shower. There is no written list of amenities or where they are located. When using the hot tub you have to go through a construction are with tools and stuff to trip over. The food choices are limited and the bus into town does not run at night. We have a very nice room but so many other thing fall short. This may be my last time here. To many other better choices.

We went for the ultimate summer experience. Although it wasn’t terrible I didn’t find it was worth the money. It was incredibly slow and most of the staff were just sitting around.
We were especially excited about the zip lining. It was fun but since we had to carry the equipment back up we only did it twice.
I might change my review if I come back to ski in the winter 🤷♀️

This review is for Easter Brunch in the Caribou room.
The wedding pictures of the Caribou room online made everything look fabulous so we decided to book brunch for 5 of us. We sure were disappointed. The big picture windows had a lovely view, but that was about it. For $45 there wasn’t even staff offering more coffee for the table. The buffet was in the entry (we had to look for it). We were hoping for something more special.
While I hope the new owners bring in the service and experience that we we are used to receiving at their other ski hills, I believe the area is in for a rude awakening for an influx of people to the area as they pump more money into the hill.
And we had to pay $25 per car to park. I don’t mind paying for an ‘event’ but all in all - the whole experience wasn’t worth it.

Our first time at Schweitzer today. We had a great time. There is plenty of challenging terrain for all levels. Despite some recent warm weather the snow was in great condition. By most standards even a crowded day at Schweitzer is not crowded. We never waited more than a couple of minutes for a lift ride.

Beautiful resort with good energy. The road winds around quite a bit on the way up there but it’s worth the trip! We saw a cool yurt and cute cabins in the woods too.

The snow and terrain was beautiful, runs were nice and long, a great variety of runs for seasons skiers to absolute beginners, BUT skier and snowboarders are supposed to be a tribe and act like it. The ticket gal in one of the first building that you come to in the village must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. She seemed to be bothered by DOING HER JOB and helping us buy tickets. There was nothing abnormal about the request and no reason for her to be grumpy, but she acted so bothered. It made for a sad start to an otherwise enjoyable day. The lift operators seemed nice. One was singing karaoke through his speakers quite loudly (not a problem) and it seemed like they were generally having a good time. The vibes ON THE MOUNTAIN were fun too, but ppl in the village just didn’t seem to treat ppl as though they were all part of the skiing and snowboarding tribe. Parking was an absolute pain, but we did go on a discounted day, so maybe that played into the parking situation.

Stayed at the new Humbird. it was clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were very attentive. I was on crutches, they were accommodating. The restaurant in the hotel was very good. It was nice to walk around the village at the base of the mountain. As everyone already knows, the views are amazing.
This place won’t be a secret for long.

We had an amazing 3 day ski trip at Schweitzer. Beautiful terrain, grooming team keeps the mountain pristine. Our only criticism is the parking situation... they have limited parking in favor of more housing. The parking lots are at capacity on weekdays 30 minutes before the lifts start turning. I think they need to get more on hill parking otherwise their growth is going to be limited. If we hadn't stayed in a ski in ski out condo, the parking situation would have prevented us from coming back again. It would be a deal breaker for me if we were driving to the mountain for a day trip.

Best kept secret. Fun skiing and more than plenty of ski runs for most. This is a large ski playground full of all levels of fun. One I haven't ridden was the T-bar up to fantastic open runs and if you like the trees, there is plenty to find for fresh tracks. Spectacular views too.

We have been coming to Schweitzer for a week in March every year for over a decade. We have always loved the mountain for being an amazing family friendly resort and their top notch ski school. My kids have LOVED ski school in the past. We didn't go for several years due to Covid, we were so excited to go again this year after several years. However, I just found to that they no longer have a traditional ski school anymore. They appear to at first glance on their website until you read that it is only for their beginner green hill. Their other ski school is for weekends for the local kids. If your child is beyond a green skier and you don't live nearby, your only option is private lessons. So apparently only rich kids get to learn to ski beyond the green beginner level. What kind of ski resort doesn't have a regular ski school! It is too late to change our plans this year, but it looks like we won't be coming back. Such a shame. It makes me so sad to see this happening to a resort that my kids have grown up skiing at and had so many amazing memories at their wonderful ski school in the past.

The guy who told me it's basically "Little Whistler" was right! Just look at the trail maps and compare them to surrounding ski areas. Great selection of intermediate/advanced slopes, many cornices (sick), and a couple high speed lifts. 3 terrain park options was cool too, there was the main one with rails and x games jumps, a progression park with boxes/small jumps, and then almost a large open area with naturalish jumps that was really fun on powder days. At the base there's a couple shops/restaurants which was cool to have the option. Overall after being to several ski areas in the eastern WA area, this place is worth the short drive up past Sandpoint.

Lodging only review: I love skiing the mountain, BUT Our lodging experience for second year in a row was terrible! January 2024 we had paid in advance $500 per night supposedly a 25% off deal for a hotel room. Our Selkirk hotel room could not get internet, the television did not work. We asked about getting transferred to a room with a full kitchen that cost less but they wouldn’t. There was no ice machine on our floor. The bedding was for the wrong size bed. The room above us was so loud we were kept awake for 2 hours with the floor squeaking and toddlers stomping. The front desk was less than concerned. We would have had to get up, call “security” and they might have investigated.Tonight we tried all 3 hot tubs and they were not working. Dirty, lukewarm at best and only one had jets. Brrr. Five star prices and 2 star results. Bummer

Since it was summertime, we talked about visiting Schweitzer Mountain Ski Lift, just to ride to the top. The road to the top is about the same as any other mountain switchback road; it’s paved, and clear in the summer. The problem was at the top. Parking there is very limited and at a distance, meaning long uphill walking at an altitude. There is a shuttle, but it doesn't run in the summer. In the end, we decided not to go because of the problem with parking.

Stayed at the new Humbird. it was clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were very attentive. I was on crutches, they were accommodating. The restaurant in the hotel was very good. It was nice to walk around the village at the base of the mountain. As everyone already knows, the views are amazing.
This place won’t be a secret for long.

We had an amazing 3 day ski trip at Schweitzer. Beautiful terrain, grooming team keeps the mountain pristine. Our only criticism is the parking situation... they have limited parking in favor of more housing. The parking lots are at capacity on weekdays 30 minutes before the lifts start turning. I think they need to get more on hill parking otherwise their growth is going to be limited. If we hadn't stayed in a ski in ski out condo, the parking situation would have prevented us from coming back again. It would be a deal breaker for me if we were driving to the mountain for a day trip.

Best kept secret. Fun skiing and more than plenty of ski runs for most. This is a large ski playground full of all levels of fun. One I haven't ridden was the T-bar up to fantastic open runs and if you like the trees, there is plenty to find for fresh tracks. Spectacular views too.

We have been coming to Schweitzer for a week in March every year for over a decade. We have always loved the mountain for being an amazing family friendly resort and their top notch ski school. My kids have LOVED ski school in the past. We didn't go for several years due to Covid, we were so excited to go again this year after several years. However, I just found to that they no longer have a traditional ski school anymore. They appear to at first glance on their website until you read that it is only for their beginner green hill. Their other ski school is for weekends for the local kids. If your child is beyond a green skier and you don't live nearby, your only option is private lessons. So apparently only rich kids get to learn to ski beyond the green beginner level. What kind of ski resort doesn't have a regular ski school! It is too late to change our plans this year, but it looks like we won't be coming back. Such a shame. It makes me so sad to see this happening to a resort that my kids have grown up skiing at and had so many amazing memories at their wonderful ski school in the past.

The guy who told me it's basically "Little Whistler" was right! Just look at the trail maps and compare them to surrounding ski areas. Great selection of intermediate/advanced slopes, many cornices (sick), and a couple high speed lifts. 3 terrain park options was cool too, there was the main one with rails and x games jumps, a progression park with boxes/small jumps, and then almost a large open area with naturalish jumps that was really fun on powder days. At the base there's a couple shops/restaurants which was cool to have the option. Overall after being to several ski areas in the eastern WA area, this place is worth the short drive up past Sandpoint.

We went tubing today up on Schwitzer it was an amazing experience. I was not a fan of the snow until today. The staff was amazing they went above and beyond to help accommodate our group of 15 people. I highly recommend if you are looking for a fun outdoor experience please check out Schweitzer. Thank you Charity Russell and Mark I am not sure if you work in the activity center or where you tube you were extremely helpful, kind, and patient you guys went above and beyond for us thank you.

Spent a few hours out on ORV trails on Schweitzer. What a beautiful day. We really had a blast and to the parking lot boys, thank you for your sacrifice on a job that both highly dangerous and extremely demanding. Your job keeps everyone in line but most of all, if not for your dedication to safety and responsibility, we hold it all too you. You guys really are awesome. Thank you.

Lodging only review: I love skiing the mountain, BUT Our lodging experience for second year in a row was terrible! January 2024 we had paid in advance $500 per night supposedly a 25% off deal for a hotel room. Our Selkirk hotel room could not get internet, the television did not work. We asked about getting transferred to a room with a full kitchen that cost less but they wouldn’t. There was no ice machine on our floor. The bedding was for the wrong size bed. The room above us was so loud we were kept awake for 2 hours with the floor squeaking and toddlers stomping. The front desk was less than concerned. We would have had to get up, call “security” and they might have investigated.Tonight we tried all 3 hot tubs and they were not working. Dirty, lukewarm at best and only one had jets. Brrr. Five star prices and 2 star results. Bummer

Since it was summertime, we talked about visiting Schweitzer Mountain Ski Lift, just to ride to the top. The road to the top is about the same as any other mountain switchback road; it’s paved, and clear in the summer. The problem was at the top. Parking there is very limited and at a distance, meaning long uphill walking at an altitude. There is a shuttle, but it doesn't run in the summer. In the end, we decided not to go because of the problem with parking.

I live here and this place is great. Snow conditions haven't been great this season, but thats not something anyone can control. It's an awesome place to ski, but don't tell your friends.
Great place to relax while camping, fishing, boating. Activities for the kids includes shows at the amphitheater, 9 hole disc golf, basketball court, Beach side playground. Just be careful with food around the prairie dogs and chipmunks

It’s so beautiful here. By far, Top 3 for our family. The water is green and clear. The only down fall is the rocky beach. I would recommend wearing sandals in the water. Campsites are very clean, some have electric outlets and USB ports. We love the fact that they are dog-friendly. Beach area is great for both those who want to be near the kid-friendly area or on the boat dockside… where less people are and it’s a lot quieter. They have a really nice convenience store right on site that has every little thing that you forgot and more. Staff is friendly and helpful.

After hearing nothing but good things from the local folk, we decided to take a couple of days and went up to fish and explore Priest Lake. This place is an absolute gem! The water is so clean and clear, and the perfect temperature for a swim in the heat of the afternoon. We even had luck with a few trout and smallmoth bass off the dock. The photo opportunities are limitless and if you have a boat I definitely suggest you bring it! My only issue was the number of people (the campground was nearly full) but everyone was respectful and friendly. We will be going again!

Beautiful area, rode up here to score a destination point for one of my passions. My 4 Star rating is due to the developers influence in the area.
Was going to try a Huckleberry ice cream cine at a specific spot in Coolin but, it appears that being locked up at 3 pm on a weekday is preferrable to making a successful business or it is the new business model post covid either way, disappointing side note.

WORKERS ARE LURKING - This HAS always been a favorite of ours, however; things have changed some & I'll cut right to the chase. Check out day....Father's Day 2023, while we were eating breakfast a couple of the parks people were driving around in their golf cart & stopped & "reminded" us check out was is at 1, we said we were aware & thank you, & they said no worries just letting you know. Now mind you it wasn't even quite 11am yet. After breakfast we began getting our RV ready to leave but my husband found that one of the stakes he made to hold down our awning a few years back had apparently been poured in concrete by a bandit the night before because it would literally not come out of the ground for any reason. Now being ex military my husband can ALWAYS do/make/fix anything with nothing but this tiny stake we used had now decided to test his mastery. Tool after tool, make shift tool after tool - you only have so many tools with you when you're camping as you know,& still nothing. Here comes Ranger Rick again in his golf cart, alone this time. My young son politely greeted him as he pulled up & then he exclaimed to my husband, "you know check out time is 1pm we told you that earlier." I could see mortar shells flying from my husband's eyes but he politely responded with yes, however; I've got a slight issue here as you can clearly see (since he was standing right next to my husband.) Ranger Rick went on to comment, "well you haven't been working on this for half an hour (had this man been hiding in the trees in order to make a statement like that) & then he continued with "and you still have other things to do." At that moment I decided it was best I should just go back to what I was or even was not doing until he was gone. Now mind you it is not even 1pm yet, it is 12:45 & my husband had actually been struggling with the stake for almost exactly a half hour so if he was hiding in the trees he needs a new watch. Since I had just finished up all my typical inside jobs I decided I would do a couple outside ones that were left of his since he was still wrestling with the stake. Needless to say he got the super stake out & just as were pulling out (only 16 mins past 1pm I might add) our camping neighbors came over to share "their" story with us after hearing the show at our trailer. They had a similar issue when they got there & were quite unhappy too. Apparently Ranger Rick started banging on their door at 8am Friday morning waking up their kids all because they hadn't "checked" in their reservation yet. They pulled in after the office had closed Thursday evening. This is not the attitude one should get nor expect from park representatives. I understand there are times when people clearly stay late with blatant disregard & I get people can be handfuls these days too but neither of these situations applied to ours. Needless to say... if you don't like your job, quit, if you're angry at the world a job dealing w/the public is probably not the best for you. So campers, stay here and enjoy this lovely park but beware there are watchers in the trees just waiting to pounce.
***Suggestion for/to all the parks.. if your offices are closed when people pull in to the parks your employees on the golf carts should be able to check campers in at their sites, but ONLY after you see they're awake, after all we are on vacation. It would also alleviate hooking/unhooking our rigs just to drive to the office to register sometimes.

Super nice place. Will come back here again. All family really enjoyed the time spent there. Everything is good except that they made only for Idaho residents good prices, to all people from another states you have to pay double. In general super clean warm water. Will recommend to everyone to visit this place.

Priest Lake has several Units that are accessible for the public. Indian Creek is the first of two units on the Eastside of this clean beautiful mountain lake. It has 93 campsites from no hookups to to hookups with water, electricity, and sewer. There are cabins and many water activities and areas for outdoor recreation. The store and park service amenities are rich and stocked with supplies for all camping needs. The Lionhead Unit is another dozen or so miles north with a more rustic setting but it too has a nice littler camping area at a less used location as the last three miles is unpaved. It is very tranquil and less utilized. If lake areas and activities are a desire then Priest Lake is a little slice of heaven.

Great combination of beach, hiking trail, and chilling by campfire. It's nice that safe campfires are not forbidden during high fire danger season. We had excellent relaxing time s a family. Close proximity to beach, lighted toilets and showers, timely trash removal, friendliness of staff, and many other perks made our mini-vacation very special! Short hiking trail starts at the campsite.

Lakefront state park offers hiking/skiing trails, campsites & boating, plus views of local wildlife.
Pretty little lake, beautiful state park. Day use fee, but well worth it. Two long docks for fishing off of. Excellent for canoeing and kayaking. Nice swimming area between the docks, gentle grade. There is a campground here that I haven't seen or used but imagine it's nice. The yellow jackets are quite annoying here in late August. Lots of parking and plenty of trailer parking. Kids had a great time finding and catching frogs and snakes. Saw. Lots of people catching trout, good sizes too.
Curt Hayes — Google review
The campground is nice, with great showers and clean bathrooms. The beach area/docks is pretty small, with some weeds in the water, but once you get deep enough, the water is cleaner and fun to swim in. We were disappointed that out of state guests have to pay double what Idaho residents pay. Many campsites have sloping ground which is difficult for tenting. The lake is a good size for paddleboarding or kayaking.

Round Lake is small but very beautiful. No gas motors are allowed on the lake, which makes it very peaceful. There is a hiking trail with several bridges all the way around the lake. Dogs are allowed on a leash. A nice dock to fish from and boat launch with beach for swimming. We love it there!

The people at the visitors center were very helpful. It had all the amenities we needed, shower, electricity, water and restroom. The lake was close and beautiful with a well maintained sandy beach and dock to swim or fish from. There was a horseshoe pit too. We also enjoyed a hike around the lake. There were day use picnic tables and a covered reserve area. There wasn't a playground but it had a sandy beach, rocks and logs to climb on. Dogs are allowed in leashes.

Great place to spend the day! The lake is perfect for kayaking and paddleboarding. The dock is nice for fishing. The "beach" isn't sandy, more like packed dirt, but still an okay place to park your stuff and sit in some chairs. Picnic shelters are available for larger groups. There are nice hiking trails too.
Camping area is better suited for tenting than RV's. The driveways aren't very long and just single width so you'd have to have a very small trailer or expect to park your vehicle in the overflow area.

This is a picturesque little lake with a campground, picnic areas, and restrooms. It was intermittently windy and cold... not surprisingly, we had the lake to ourselves. But it was still lovely and very serene. We only spent a few hours fishing there, but all of us caught our limit!

Awesome little campground and lake. Easy to access but still secluded. Campground looks awesome for tent or car/van camping, it looks a little tight for anything much bigger than that. Lake is easy to access with about 10-15 parking spots available. It was frozen over when I went 12/31 and there were 4 people out ice fishing. I hiked the trail around the lake and it was easy to follow and snow packed the whole way.
Recreational trail on a former rail line offering camping areas, wildlife views & natural scenery.

Landmark Spanish-style church (Idaho's oldest building) amid scenic trails & a historic cemetery.
Lovely historic mission established by Belgian Jesuits from St. Louis. Church had been partially rebuilt & restored. Great place for a picnic. Only a moderate level of historic whitewashing regarding the Church/Native American relations. Eventually the military showed up - kicked the Native people's off their land. Usual story.

A delightful museum/ historical buildings just off the interstate. We paid $7 to park and $5 each for the permanent exhibit (Sacred Encounters). You can take a self guided tour of the grounds and buildings including the 18 minute video without paying the extra $5 per person. (The exhibit is well done, but I think children would find it boring.) No food or drink is allowed in the Visitor Center, but there are several picnic tables near the Old Mission buildings. We brought a picnic lunch and enjoyed the views. There are clean restrooms with running water inside the Visitor Center.

This is a must see if you are driving thru Idaho on I-90. What a neat old mission and the place is so very well kept up. Fascinating history about this place that will leave you in awe. My family lived nearby in Kellogg when I was a kid and I remember visiting the mission on a school field trip and another time with the family and it looks just as I remember it all those years ago, right around 40 years ago. It's well worth the stop and especially to hear the story of its beginning in the 1800s. Its fascinating to hear its history and let your mind imagine what life would have been like for this family and the ones that followed. 5 stars🌟 and 2 thumbs up👍

I highly recommend stopping here if you have an hour or two. There is an awesome, modern visitors center with a multi thousand square foot exhibit on the history of the site. Then you can go check out the inside of the old mission building and several other historic buildings. There is a lot of room to walk around and potentially have a picnic. Overall, it is a very calm place with a lot of history and nature to enjoy.

This is a wonderful place to stop and have a quiet picnic. Good signage about the mission and the other buildings that were there. There's also a nice hiking trail. Down below the Visitor Center are small upright BBQs, you have to walk to them but it is paved for handicap access. It is not dog-friendly per se, but if you keep your dog on it's leash and clean up after it you'll be able to have your companion with you. The Mission is quite small and still has the feeling of a church. The grounds are relaxing with lots of large trees keeping it cool in the Summer. It provided me a place just to recharge from being on the hwy with Holiday Longweekend drivers. The Visitor Center has very nice gifts and postcards for a very reasonable amount.

Historical church and grounds. Beautiful location and well maintained. They have a few trails to go on to see some cemeteries. A very nice museum that offers lots of info and images. You can see the inside of the Cataldo mission church and another house next to it.
The staff is very helpful and friendly. They have field trips for students to come and explore. Outside picnic tables for those wanting to sit and eat there. Restrooms inside the museum and an outside rest room as well. It costs to park and visit.

Very beautiful state park. Entry fees are a reasonable $7, and there is a nice museum onsite as well for an additional fee. The Mission Church and house are from 1853 and they've been restored very well. You can go inside the two buildings. There are also a few small trails on walk onsite with information signs, including one down to the wetlands area of the river and another to an old cemetery. There are picnic tables as well. We'll definitely be back to this park!

Gorgeous, Breathtaking, Ever lasting Memories of Nature, Farragut Park is absolutely an amazing experience. The trails are awesome, durung the summer time you can swim in a few spots in the lake. The sights are something to stare at for hours. It's truly an awesome park.
I do wish some trails where a bit more maintenance and some under brush cleared a bit better possibly bring a 4 wheeler with a chipper attached, 4 man crew with chainsaws, could use the fallen logs for mulching. Just my opinion.

My wife and I love this place. It is become our regular go to place for outdoor activities camping bike riding and hiking. There’s miles and miles and miles of trails and let’s not forget frisbee golf. Campsites are nice and spread apart people are friendly. Great RC flying field.
Unfortunately Idaho state parks doubled their costs for out of state residence which makes a Farragut State Park and all other Idaho parks unaffordable. Yearly vehicle pass is now $80 and a one night stay is $74.
We will continue to go on daily basis but probably not to camp anymore. If you’re an Idaho resident I highly recommend this place. And if you want to get out for a day of hiking and biking there isn’t a better place around.

Farragut State Park is a great place to go for camping or hiking. Lots of trails with views of the lake. The day use area had large covered picnic areas with horse shoe pits and volley ball nets nearby. Lots of room for many people to gather together. There were swings for younger kids to play on too. Camping cabins were also real close to the day use area. The cabins appeared to be fairly new and well maintained. A note on the cabin said that the cabins has been cleaned after each use. Each cabin had its own fire pit and picnic table. The cabins also had electric lights and an air conditioner. No bathroom inside the cabin, but a bathroom facility was a short walk from the cabins. The only issue would be if someone had to get up during the night it would be a little walk in the dark. There were close trails near the day use area that were well maintained. Very beautiful spot.

What can I say, I love to visit the state parks. I almost always stop in the visitor center to see what's new and chat with the clerks.

Of course, gotta stop and check out the wild flowers.

I spent one night in a camping cabin in the winter. I thought paying $69 plus a reservation fee was quite expensive considering there are no winter services in the campground, you have to hike your stuff in to the cabin, and you have to clean it yourself. That being said the cabin was nice and it was a great experience.
When I checked in the ranger was very unhelpful. I had gone to ski but there was no snow so I asked about hiking in the park. She told me any hiking is good, and didn't point me to any specific trails. She really didn't want to interact with me. I couldn't find any maps in the park, and didn't have internet so I drove around aimlessly for a while then decided to leave. Being a ranger seems like such a cool job, don't know why this ranger didn't want to help me enjoy the park.
Ellie Knight — Google review
While the park itself is lovely, they have some of the most rude and disrespectful people working for them. The young lady at check in was particularly disrespectful and it seems typical of the people I have met there. The last time I went to the park was about 15 years ago and they were equally terrible then. I figured maybe they had changed but I was wrong.
Jesse Moore — Google review
We arrived at this park a little after 10 pm we had booked on line, didn’t see anything telling me to check in at the front office the park is extremely large.
When we were checking out the ranger ask who we were and if we had checked in, I stated I did, I did think I had to since I book & paid on line.
He said even though we were checking out, we had to check in or we would get a ticket.
I was disappointed he made us (used his position of authority) to go check in even though he took all our information saw that we were leaving.
We find the front office which isn’t located in any of the camps site it’s its own section.
With the shortage of workers in this country this park has plenty of employees to enforce rules that make no significant, when he already had written our information down visually saw and verbally spoke with us.
I check in only to be told to have a great day see you soon, that took an extra 1/2 hour because of parking and waiting in line to report I was checking in and out at the same time.
The park itself is big and nice, the toilets are at moments they do stink, they offer full hook-ups as well as tent sites. We chose not to use the toilets instead use our portable one the bathrooms were hit & miss.
I guess when you allocate more money hiring people to signing in people then checking bathrooms you end up with unclean bathrooms.
The lake is kind of hard to find I would say drive to it or ride your bike, lots of trails, the lake is absolutely beautiful.
The park is very clean and quite and well maintained.

The park itself is nice. Campspots are not close to the lake but are good in size and provide some privacy. Great, groomed hiking trails. As other reviewers stated, staff is not welcoming. The individual checking us was unfriendly; almost flippant. Two of us drove to the S. Entrance with our scooters. The entry fee is per vehicle, so we decided to park one. The park would not allow us to park at the entrance. As we drove back to Bayview, a parking enforcement truck came out of nowhere. The park boundaries are deceiving because the entry gates are inside the park. Luckily for us, we had seen the signs and parked in town where parking was hassle free.

Wow, so beautiful ❤️. The water of Lake Pend Oreille - pronounced "pond da ray", was so refreshing and crystal clear. We went swimming at Idlewild Bay. There is a "store", Cast, Blast, & Relax"- Food & snacks and they rent: bicycles, kayaks, paddle boards, & fishing gear! on the path down to the lake, before you get to the water. There are flush toilets and nice showers there, too. Plenty of parking. The park itself has a lot to offer: Gift shop, Disc Golf, Tree to Tree Adventure Park, Camping, Boat Launch for watercraft, horse trails, llama trails, hiking trails, mtn bicycle trails, Shooting range, museum at the Brig Jr. Ranger Station, Equestrian Campground, Model Aircraft Field(Insurance required), fishing, picnic sites, group camping, dump station. Winter Recreation :snow shoeing, Cross Country Skiing, fat tire biking. When you first check in to the campground office, there is a very informative visitor center, very interesting. Worth your time to check it out.
Largest Northwest theme park offers 65+ rides, a water park, casual dining & an on-site RV park.
Silverwood is the greatest. I have been going since I was a kid and it still is great. The rides aren’t too intense but they give just enough adrenaline that you get the rollercoaster high. Boulder beach has really expanded in recent years and is so fun.
I love the classic old time feeling that silverwood has. It has kept its charm and I hope that never changes. The new stunt pilot ride is a lot of fun but I am partial to the wooden roller coasters.
I can promise you will have fun at this park. It is more than enjoyable. The staff told me the last time I was there that the best time to go is a couple days after the Fourth of July. It is always their slowest days of the year because everyone has to get back to work.
If you are considering it, I recommend going for it. You won’t regret it!

Family run theme park that has something for everyone.
Silverwood is a fantastic theme park that is truly run with passion and quality experiences for guests. For a relatively small, less known theme park I was really impressed and had a blast. The coasters are good fun (Aftershock is epic); actors and train ride is a good time for all; magic show (Nick and Mad Mike especially) is a great way to break up the adrenaline fuelled fun; and the park’s theme and environment is genuinely beautiful and well maintained.
Great place for a family, thrill seeking adults like myself and anyone who wants to escape for a fun adventure in Idaho.
Yeehaw Silverwood!

WHAT a great park! Homey and small, but with some really good rides, great atmosphere, and friendly people, both at work and as visitors. Parking is across the highway and you walk through a tunnel to the park. Then it's left to the theme park and right to the train and the water park.
I didn't know what was good here, and was able to ride Aftershock twice right away. But Tremors is my favorite ride here, followed closely by the single-rail Stunt Pilot coaster, which loads super fast! Every park should have one of these!
I was done with all the rides by 3 and went to the water park for a while. But I didn't realize until later that the train only runs once an hour and the popular show is only on some of those trips, so I missed the show, which I regret. It's kind of out of the way of everything else, so you really have to make an effort to get to that part of the park. I did get a nice trip nearer sunset, however. The magic show is really good! The variety show in the saloon is pretty campy and not much space to watch it in.
I appreciate that there are quieter areas of the park. Just behind the kid's rides is a pretty park to rest in, and near the train is a theater that plays 3 stooges all day if you need a dark and quiet place to sit down.

We had a lot of fun. The lifeguards were straight up on it and were really awesome with the kid. The variety show and train ride was so much fun. We had a blast with the rides. Really clean and the employees appeared to really enjoy what they were doing. Even the ride operators were generally having fun and making the day enjoyable. Thank you for making this 7th birthday for my daughter a blast!

I enjoyed my time at the Silverwood Theme Park in Idaho! The place is clean and beautiful.
I like it better than Disney Land and Universal Studios. We went three days in a row, and enjoyed every second of it. The food that you purchase inside of the Park was really good, and the kids loved it as well. It is definitely a good choice for your family to create memories and relax. It’s was not hectic or too busy. I am definitely taking my grandson there once he’s of age.

Silverwood Theme park is an epic adventure that everyone from all ages needs to experience. From the rides and roller coasters, to the water park and slides…the day was filled with memories and screams from speed.
The amusement side of the park has it all. For the young and the more advanced thrill seeker. My favorite was Spin Cycle…and it’s upside down twists and turns. Worth the ride! The roller coasters are fast, I mean fast!
For the water park, the slides were amazing. You have everything from fast plunges to twists and turns, in tubes to open air excitement. The water was warm everywhere we went. Plus clean! The lazy River hit the spot for us adults too.
For as many people were there, the staff was amazing, the park was clean, the food was amazing and I highly recommend the Huckleberry Shakes and Chicken Finger baskets.
We loved it, it truly is a great full day of memories in one place.

I have been to all the parks, just about. The Mouse, The Flags, The Orlando, but this place is something special. The feeling we got when we entered was unmatched by the other guys. There was a tangible sweetness to the atmosphere. Every employee greeted us with a smile and thoughtfulness. They genuinely enjoyed working there.
The grounds are breathtaking. The grounds crew has no equal. They take great care of the entire park. The RV Park is the best way to go. Clean. Quiet. Wonderful. Our family is planning to come back again and again.

A bucket list adventure for the whole family! This place is absolutely amazing! Must do, atleast once! Great huge parking lot, even when it is busy- it doesn't seem too packed. Not very long lines. So many fun rides, water slides and games for all ages. Yummy food and drinks. Great vacation spot. Decent prices! Highly recommend!

This family owned theme park has something for everyone! (And we didn't even make it to the water park!)
Our family group included ages 0 to 60, some much slower than others, but everyone had a blast...with exception of the infant who was too young to be aware of anything.
From wild coasters to milder log ride and children's rides; from a very enjoyable scenic train ride to comedy shows, this amazing park has got you covered.
You'll also find reasonably priced food and drink options.
Many of the attractions are handicap accessible and employees go the extra mile to help you learn the ropes and avoid long lines. (Just pick up a courtesy pass at the information booth when you enter the park).
Silverwood has a great website with helpful tips to make your visit the best! Check it out if you haven't already.

The roller coasters were fun but I can't say the same thing for the water park. The lines were huge for the water park rides, and I am talking about 40 minutes wait, but the rides themselves were fine but not very fun. The roller coasters were amazing, though there were 7 of them and the waiting was long as well. I just hope that the people who let the riders in learn to count well since they let more people than there supposed to be and the people behind me got on but I had to wait another turn.
Olesya Samarkina — Google review
Tons of stuff to do, whole park is clean even though there were lots of people. 2 day pass with break in between is best. Plan for one day at water park and another for the theme park. Food is reasonably priced but lines can be long if it is busy. Would recommend and we are definitely coming back next year!

Great place! This could easily be a multi day thing if you want to experience everything. Lots of cool places to see and fun rides. The wait time for the rides wasn’t even bad, we went on a sunny Saturday and they kept everything running smoothly so that we didn’t have to wait very long for the roller coasters. The waterpark had longer wait times, but I feel like that’s to be expected when it’s a warm and sunny day. We enjoyed the wave pool and lazy river which didn’t have waits instead!

We recently visited Silverwood and had an absolutely amazing time! From start to finish, our experience was filled with laughter, excitement, and memorable moments that we'll cherish forever. What impressed us the most was not just the incredible attractions, but also the affordability that made our family day out even more enjoyable.
The variety of rides and attractions at Silverwood catered to every member of our family, from the thrill-seekers to the more laid-back adventurers. The roller coasters were exhilarating, and the water park provided a refreshing break from the summer heat. We were pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness and maintenance of the park, creating a safe and enjoyable environment for all.
One of the highlights for us was the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. They were always ready to assist with a smile, adding to the overall positive atmosphere of the park. The efficiency in managing the queues and ensuring everyone's safety was commendable, making our visit stress-free.
What sets Silverwood apart is its affordability without compromising on the quality of the experience. The ticket prices, food options, and souvenir choices were reasonable, allowing us to make the most of our day without breaking the bank. This aspect made our visit not only entertaining but also budget-friendly, a rare combination in the world of theme parks.
In conclusion, Silverwood exceeded our expectations in every way. It provided a perfect blend of fun, excitement, and affordability that made it an ideal destination for a family day out. We wholeheartedly recommend Silverwood to anyone seeking a fantastic and budget-friendly adventure. We can't wait to return and create even more cherished memories at this fantastic amusement park!

I was originally going to take my grand kids to California, but decided to head to Idaho to Silverwood and what a great choice that was.
We arrived the first day after school let out. The parking is $10 we arrived at 10:45 am we found a spot immediately we were in the park and on the first ride within 1/2 hour. The lines weren’t very long 10 minutes at the most except the ferries wheel because it’s weighted balance, so they take time to make sure your on it correctly which at first can seem frustrating when your the first person in the line yet the last one on the ride.
The food is very reasonable $10 for a decent high protein yet fried food, they have a variety of places to eat I had a burrito bowl with chicken and yet it was only $10 as well.
The people who work there are friendly and helpful a great staff.
The park is clean we didn’t get a locker but the have them, they also offer refill drink containers.
The gift shops have fair prices I never felt like they were gouging prices, like they do at the movies and other theme parks the reasonable.
I will be retuning here.
The quarter arcade was a win, win when grandma (me) was tired, I gave them $20 and they played for 1.5 hours as I recoup.
I bought 2 day passes for 5 3 adults and 2 children and it was only a little over $450 what a great value for all the fun we had.
Thank you Silverwood & staff for making our first trip of the summer great.

What a clean, well maintained, and established theme park. So many rides with a variety of food shops and shopping experiences. Did all of the roller coaster except for 1. We spent an entire day up until evening time and enjoyed the lights, food, and atmosphere. Only recommendation would be having more lights along the walking path for nighttime and would be nice to have the ride signs light up. Also the log ride was very dark at night and would have like to see more added to the journey along the river. So much to see and do, it's a great day and night trip. Located close to Spokane and all amenities.

Great experience at Silverwood for their Scarywood Halloween event! The details are so intricate and the decorations and haunts were very elaborate! The Scaries (characters) were exciting, friendly and helpful when we couldn’t find certain places in the park. All staff we interacted with were very friendly and helpful. The rides were SO fun at night! Highly recommend! It was very cold and the only thing I could think of to make it better is if there were more warming stations throughout the park. We will be back again. Excited to go to Silverwood this summer for more rides.

To say Silverwood is perfection is an understatement! From the moment you walk through the under highway tunnel, you are transported to a Mary Poppins feel. It's refreshing and a wonderful escape. Every employee was delightful, and the entire experience was fantastic! Wesley and the entire front gate crew sang Happy Birthday to my daughter, it was insanely special! The waits are long for favorite attractions, but being allowed to bring in food and drink helps pass the time...I saw several families picnic in line-so smart! Sometimes, I reflected that the lines were a good thing as I saw families and groups of friends talking to each other and playing games. I rarely saw anyone on electronics. The train ride is a must, Ranger Ruby and Edwin III are hysterical! Make time for the steam engine ride. The magic show with Nick is superb...like Vegas quality GOOD!! I wish we had attended it more than 1x. You will laugh, gasp and wonder for sure! The food is reasonably priced and the souvenirs aren't unreasonable. I appreciate this so much as it shows enjoyment over greed. It's fun how some rides came from bigger theme parks. I recognized 1 from Six Flags as I grew up 2 miles from Six Flags Over Texas. We attended on Grandparents Weekend and Saturday was packed, Sunday was 2/3 less full. I appreciate the free Grandparents ticket...again...enjoyment over greed. I'm looking forward to our next Silverwood adventure. It's worth the 8+ hour drive, in my opinion. Oh, and if you like to RV, the RV Park looked fantastic!
Thank you, Silverwood, for being a holdout for American values and family traditions. I appreciate the memories. Cheers!

This park ROCKS!! I first visited Silverwood in late August this year. The park is clean and filled will life. Coasters everywhere you walk. It's a bit weird getting to them though. The park has a t intersection as you enter, with a massive field in front of you. To the left is the coasters and to the right is their waterpark. I didn't do the waterpark, not my thing. But all the non kiddie coasters are good or great. My favorites being Tremors, Aftershock and Stuntpilot. Timber Terror and Corkscrew were decent but not mind blowing. Employees were friendly, but operations were pretty slow. Luckily it was a cool sixty degrees when I visited so I very much enjoyed both days I visited. Its a great park in the Pacific northwest, and I bet it's the best considering the lack of competition in Seattle.
I stayed at their Airbnb cottage with my baby & small dog, it was PERFECT and the hosts are so sweet. The alpacas/wildlife are great but if you’re looking for a getaway I would definitely check out their Airbnb 🙂
The cottage was warm & cozy with all of the things you would find in a well stocked hotel room plus a full kitchen and laundry. You’re in the mountains so it’s quiet and secluded as well. Treat yourself if you get the chance!

Truly an incredible place! The owners of the ranch are fantastic and let you roam the ranch and explore. Most importantly, you can spend all the time with the animals that you'd like.

We had been there somewhere in August. And it was my first time to Alpacas farm. This place is so peaceful. The tour was wonderful. They even let you touch and water the Alpacas. There are donkeys, goats and sheep as well. You can reserve a stay in Airbnb.
Five stars!! We are planning to visit again. Thanks for an amazing experience.

A very nice hike around the shoreline that kids can do with adult help in a few places. The view of the lake is spectacular and there are lots of trails that lead down to the waters edge. Additionally there are steep trails that go to the peak. Not the best view due to trees but really good for the heart rate! Overall this is a great family hiking place right in downtown Coeur d' Alene!

We hiked the brown trail.

We loved hiking here! It was quite the exercise. We took the opportunity to use the little side trails that take you down to look at the water. I would love to set up a hammock there sometime. Beautiful views!
It's not wheel chair or stroller accessible, as there are lots of roots and rocks to clamor up.

It was amazing, but I'm very tired. A few trails for everyone 😁, we chose the loop trail, the whole trail was up or down, but the views were fantastic. We took many photos, nature is beautiful. There were many small and large rocks, bridges, the trail led among conifers but sometimes you walked in the sun without a bit of shade 😁. It was worth it although I had the moment that I could not cope, I would not come 😳. I came, I overcome fatigue 😀

Vast waterside space featuring walking trails, a playground & a sand beach area.
I have come to this park since I was 12 years old and how it has changed over the years.
It's a a great park situated on the shores of Lake Coeur D' Alene with lots of open area for picnics, Frisbee, Basketball, Volleyball and of course swimming and all the other lake activities.
The artwork (by mostly local artists) that they have added over the years is amazing and of course finding Mudgy and Millie at various locations (a total of 5) along the trail has always been fun for the kids, inspired by a local author.
Dogs are welcome and please be mindful of others so this continues to be an option for dog lovers, there are not many pet friendly area's anymore.
As always leave it better than you found it and enjoy 😉.

This dog park is pretty tiny compared to the overall size of the park. There are two sections with varying agility equipment on them that I thought was cool. There is also available water at this park. It was noticed however that people are TERRIBLE at picking up their dog's waste despite a scooper and a trash can provided mere feet from the entrance/exit.

Absolutely serene! I’ve been to quite a few lakes in my lifetime but NEVER have I experienced a lake and city park area like Coeur d’Alene City Park. I reside in Spokane, WA and went to Coeur d’Alene to purchase an item from Facebook market place. The seller asked where I was coming from and o told her Spokane. The seller then insists for us (my family) to explore Coeur d’Alene and do not leave until we see the lake at Coeur d’Alene Park. I was in Aah. The park is so clean! The piers were close so the kids could get front row seats to see boats. Then we get to the water…. I have never encountered water so clear and inviting. I had to touch the water which was surprisingly not cold like all other lakes. I’m telling you that this lake seemed to be one of a dream in which I didn’t want to wake. The peoples of the city were so nice and welcoming, I was blown away with the kindness we received. We didn’t make it all around the park because I had to rush back to Washington for appts but we did in fact stay for 2 hours just enjoying the water, the sun, and friendly residents of the city! I encourage everybody that has not been to this lake/park to check it out because you will definitely have a beautiful RELAXED experience. The pictures I have do not give the park any justice mainly because my pics are in one area, my phone died in about 15 mins of being there 😒, you will have to see for yourself! 😎

Additionally, there are ample open spaces ideal for various outdoor activities such as basketball games or picnics.

This is a great multi-use park that hosts regular events on a weekly basis during the summer. The basketball court area and the tennis court area are also very popular and well maintained. The lap around the entire park will give a visitor a half mile course to major out their walking miles if needed. For those of you visiting during the winter months, you will also note that the park operates a temporary outdoor ice rink.

The second-largest lake in Idaho is less than ten miles east of downtown, with a comfortable surface temperature of around 70 °F in the summer months.
Conveniently, the largest city on the lakeshore, Coeur d’Alene, is right next door to Post Falls, which puts a wealth of amenities and experiences at your fingertips.
You can take a scenic cruise on the lake, walk a network of well-maintained trails, visit attractions like a cute llama farm, dine in the charming downtown area, go fishing or simply lie back next to this natural wonder.
City Park has an exquisite lakeside promenade and a stretch of beach, while McEuen Park has recently been renovated with a large splash pad that children adore in summer.
Lastly, Kokanee salmon migrate to the lake in fall and winter to spawn by the gravelly shoreline, and this event attracts dozens of bald eagles, best viewed at Wolf Lodge Bay, a few miles east of Coeur d’Alene proper.
Mt Spokane is a towering mountain peak located in the Inland Northwest, boasting scenic trails and historic ruins that lead to an observation deck with breathtaking views. Regardless of weather conditions, people feel gravitated towards this majestic natural wonder. It provides ample opportunities for biking, hiking, and enjoying the stunning vistas it offers.
Amazing drive with spectacular views of the mountain ranges! Excellent ski park for all levels from bunny hills to longer ones. The hike in the snow was pretty good. Open access to many walking and hiking trails. The vista house was close at this point of the year so will definitely want to be back for that. Parking wasn’t difficult but imagine it gets crowded during summer.

We went up somewhat hiking. Hit the summit. Had the kids eating huckleberries along the way. Checked out a few patches along the way back down the mountain

Summit road is closed leading up to the peak. I think you can still hike it though

Trezzi Farm Winery has the perfect mix of a modern Italian wedding venue with a PNW flare. There are great places for beautiful pictures at every turn. The ceremony view is set with a beautiful view of Mt Spokane! If the weather turns sour, the reception hall (modernized barn) is a great place to quickly move your ceremony inside.

I could not have chosen a more beautiful or hospitable venue for my wedding. Even if it had rained the whole day, my wedding would have been perfect here. My mom did most of the coordinating and planning leading up to my wedding, and Stephanie was so responsive and helpful with her.
This venue is so beautiful it needs no decoration. The vineyards surrounding the reception hall, the mountain vista, and the great Western sky create a panorama so breathtaking that there is no way your photos will not turn out amazing, no matter the weather.
The food is the BEST. We had so many compliments. Most people went up for seconds. I would give Trezzi ten stars if I could!
