Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes - Wallace, Idaho I-90 Viaduct
Riding the trail through the I-90 viaduct in Wallace, Idaho. Wallace was the site of the last stop light on the US Interstate Highway System (early 1990s). The viaduct was built over the old rail line so that it did not wipe out half of downtown Wallce (a historic district established to save the town from I-90). The rail was then abandoned and converted to a rail-trail.
Scenic Bike Ride - Hiawatha Trail - Milwaukee RR - Idaho/Montana, MT
Join us as we bike the 15 mile Hiawatha Trail from Montana into Idaho. It was called one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country. The Milwaukee Railroad is long gone allowing recreationalists to use the 2% down grade for easy biking. Riding over trestles and through tunnels is a very memorable experience. The Route of the Hiawatha is most famous for the long St. Paul Pass, or Taft Tunnel which burrows for 8771 ft. (1.66 miles) under the Bitterroot Mountains at the state line.
This sequence was shot with a GoPro Hero2 and a Canon HFS-100 camera and edited with Adobe Premier Pro 6.

Taft, MT Route of the Hiawatha Trail Review 2016 Ride on a Historic Railroad (Commentary)
This 15 mile out and back rails to trails trail is located about 30 minutes east of Wallace, ID
I know paying to ride a trail is crazy you might say but the money goes to a good cause to maintain the trail. The price for the ticket is only $10 a person and add another $6 if you want to take the shuttle back to the top. They will even bring you a sack lunch at the end of the trail for about $10.
Now remember this is a Rails-to-Trails trail and if you don’t know what that is, it is an old railroad bed that is no longer used and has been converted to a trail, this is not single track it is more like a dirt road. This trail, in particular, is kind of unique in that it traverses the Bitterroot Mountains which are very scenic, it also has 10 tunnels the longest of which is 1.7 miles long. There are 7 sky-high trestles along the route as well which make for some great photo ops. The trail is a gentle no more than 2% downhill for 15 miles to Pearson which is the end of the route.
Right off the bat we went through the first tunnel which is called the St. Paul Pass Tunnel and is 1.7 miles long. The tunnels do not have lights you have to supply your own lights, which are a requirement by the way as well as helmets for this ride.The trail stays pretty wet inside the tunnel so I for one am glad we attached rear fenders to our bikes, a lot of folks coming out of the tunnels have the butt stripe going all the way up their backs. About halfway through the tunnel on the right, we saw a sign on the wall, it was a sign showing how they built the tunnel and also that we were now at the state line of Montana and Idaho, so from here on out the rest of this ride would be in Idaho.
The entire trail has interpretive kiosks all along the way explaining the history of the trail and the area. Trail marshals ride up and down this trail along the entire route, they were very friendly and there to help with medical and mechanical emergencies, they are also a wealth of information on the history and ecology of the area.
Overall this is a great trail for everyone, we saw little kids younger than 10 years old out there riding their bikes, we saw entire families, and senior citizens as well, what we did not see were any dogs which are not allowed on the trail, so Fido will have to stay in the car or at home.
I rate this trail for everyone, we seen quite a few baby carriers on bikes.

It is one of the most scenic stretches of railroad in the country. Winding through ten tunnels and over seven high steel trestles, the 15-mile route crosses the rugged Bitterroot Mountains between Idaho and Montana. The Route of the Hiawatha is best known for the long, dark St. Paul Pass Taft Tunnel which is 1.7 miles and under the state line. Have a good bike light (bring a backup light), and dress appropriately, the tunnel is wet and cold. For more information: ridethehiawatha.com Phone# 208.744.1301
I rode the trail on September 22nd and 23rd 2012 and filmed the scenes using a GoPro helmet camera. Put this ride on your bucket list as a must do!
