Where to ride near Spokane/Coeur d'Alene

[huntingflying]

I am from Spokane WA and am looking for a close place to mountain ride. I have heard that Mt. Spokane isn't worth even trying anymore and I have been to Priest Lake but I am looking for something closer. Mainly we boondock and only use the trails to get high enough to do this. I'm not opposed to riding in Idaho, and I have heard that Fourth of July Pass is pretty good. Where is a good place to ride and how far from Spokane is it? (directions would be nice to)

well you could go to Kalispel, which is north of spokane just outside chewelah. 4th of july as you said, I have never really rode there so not much help. lookout/taft(break into MT barely on that), except once you get to lookout, you are about the same drive time as to priest area. but the silver valley does have some pretty good spots to launch out of and save the drive of going all the way to lookout.


good luck on your search to find places to play closer. I don't even think about the drive anymore.
