For people who don’t know, Coeur d’Alene is quite fun and beautiful place. It is a resort town and is part of the Spokane-Coeur d’Alene Metro area, which encompasses several cities. Each part of the area is unique and offers a wide variety experiences. I speak with visitors on a regular basis. The one thing I consistently hear is that people don’t realize this is a metropolitan area of around 800,000 people, with Spokane the main city. There is something for just about anyone in the region, from bigger concerts and sporting event and nightlife in Spokane to the ambiance of the resort on the lake. If you get an opportunity the try and explore outside the metro area. There are hidden gems all around that beg to be discovered. From Desert terrain to alpine lakes tucked in the mountains. Great food destination too, there is even a Michelin star chef in the area with cool foody places in almost every corner. Pubs, wineries, distilleries,bakeries, coffee shops etc. worth an extended stay. Most people who do visit almost always plan to visit again. May not be for everyone but most people are surprised at the variety of the region.

Thanks for this! I looked up "Coeur d'Alene" as we may visit there this July. We're headed to a music event at the Gorge Amphitheatre. We did this trip/event in 2019 and we nailed the itinerary. From Sacramento to Mt. Shasta. Drove and stayed overnight in Hood River, then on to the Gorge for the weekend event. Then a three-night stay in Gig Harbor, before ending up in Lincoln City for the remainder of the trip before driving back home. Looking to change it up, but my wife really wants to go to the coast! I want to explore CDL for a bit since we're in the area. So, now I am doing my homework!

We were there in early October. Loved the food at the Bouy, and the cookies at Bear Paw. The Coeur d'Alene paved bike trail is 176 miles of beauty. Being from San Diego, what stood out to us was the absence of homeless encampments. We stayed at Blackwell Island RV Park.

I'm visiting from Moscow for a solo weekend trip and look forward to seeing some beaches and waterfront that is sorely lack in the Palouse (Lewiston's smelly factory riverfront doesn't count lol). I have been before but have to say that we have the better main street and farmer's market. It's still nice in Coeur D'Alene but feels limited for a city of its size.
