Things to do in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho

[@scottdavis4497]

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.

Well that’s definitely getting pinned. Thanks so much for taking the time to write that up. Wish we had talked to you before we visited the area. All I can say is you all are lucky. Not too many places as beautiful.

Wow a city that takes care of its community. Who would have thunk it.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Exactly

[@dachshunds1]

I live in here in Coeur d'Alene Idaho and it is the best place I've ever lived at. 6:08 That train was my favorite place in Silverwood theme park when I was a kid.

[@adventuresofjandk]

It is a very beautiful place. We live near Portland which is also beautiful but not as nice as where you are.

[@bacondad6960]

I have lived here 18 years. I love boating on Lake Coeur d'Alene. I'll dock the boat and hit the buoy for a cold drink occasionally. Great video.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Much appreciated. Beautiful area of the Country you live in.

[@bacondad6960]

@@adventuresofjandk There are time where I still can't believe I live here and many people travel just to visit.

[@youlikemyshorts8039]

Beautifully done. Excellent job showing how nice the City is.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thank you. Really appreciate that.

[@garypeacock5919]

Thanks for posting this. we're visiting CDL in September from Scotland at the end of our trip to Glacier national Park. I was there in 1991 and was really impressed with it, can't wait to go back.

[@adventuresofjandk]

That is awesome. We can’t wait to someday visit Scotland. 🙃

[@LordofLiquorice]

That was great. Hope to go there soon

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@LordofLiquorice thank you. You won’t be disappointed. Very nice, clean, and safe town.

[@R3HAY]

Nice video! Was out at Higgens Point off Lake Coeur d’ Alene today and saw dozens of bald eagles. Photographers paradise.

[@adventuresofjandk]

That would be awesome. We did see one when we were there but couldn’t grab the camera fast enough. The wildlife in that area is fantastic

[@dlt32]

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing. We’ll be stopping there on the way to Alaska in 2023!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Awesome. You will love it.

[@Nora_Anderson]

Love the video

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thank you. We loved visiting the City. It’s a true gem.

[@JasonRenfrow]

What a beautiful city.

[@adventuresofjandk]

100% agree

[@SassyLeeHillius]

so nice great video and you reminded me how special coeurd'alene is thanks headed there soon.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Much appreciated. We really enjoyed our time there.

Hello! New to your channel, Miss home badly. Thank you for posting the Great PNW!!!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Welcome to our channel and thank you for watching.

[@joelavenburg5761]

That place looks great. Wish I lived there.

[@adventuresofjandk]

😀. So do we.

[@SippyCupAdventures]

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!

[@adventuresofjandk]

You will love CDA. It’s such a beautiful City.

[@johan-by8jm]

Cour d Alene IDAHO Is a beatifull city

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@johan-by8jm yes it definitely is. One of the best we’ve ever visited.

[@marigoldenergy8512]

Thanks for the camping recommendations. I pass through Coeur d’Alene each year for the past 25 years, but haven’t explored the city. A few decades ago I did go to a restaurant called Cedars. It’s a floating restaurant and had great food back then.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Farragut State Park was fantastic. We will definitely be staying there next time we visit.

[@RamblinRoadies]

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.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thank you for your service Frank. We are from Portland so trust me we know exactly what you mean about no homeless. Didn’t see a one in Sandpoint or Coeur d’Alene

[@RamblinRoadies]

@@adventuresofjandk we drove through Portland on the way to Coeur d'Alene, and all I can say is, Portland, you got a problem.

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@RamblinRoadies oh there is no doubt about that. Businesses are leaving left and right. We don’t even go downtown anymore. Been a few years which is sad. Used to be a nice City to walk around. Not anymore.

[@petemartinez7080]

What a beautiful place but wondering what there is to do in the height of winter?

[@adventuresofjandk]

Ya it would be rough unless you enjoy outdoor skiing, etc.

[@user-fh6hg5yc4b]

My home! XO

[@adventuresofjandk]

Awesome. Cool town.

[@GirtonOramsay]

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.

[@adventuresofjandk]

That is awesome. Really hope you enjoy it.

[@dachshunds1]

RIP at 4:55 that was my art teachers husband he died 3 years ago. :(

[@adventuresofjandk]

Sorry to hear that.

[@spencewturtle1504]

Hi I’m am there on a vacation right now!

[@adventuresofjandk]

Awesome. Cool town.

[@daphney7877]

thank you for this!! im about to do a little cross country roadtrip, and im wondering what are the main spots in idaho to visit?

[@adventuresofjandk]

You are more than welcome. Idaho is beautiful. You really can’t go wrong with any part of the State.

[@andrewpiburn2660]

Hey... I heard you say you live on the Oregon coast.. Where at? I live in Coquille on the south coast by Bandon.. And Bear Paw cookies were pretty good!! We stopped in last time we were there.. Another good vid!!

[@adventuresofjandk]

We actually live inland from the Coast but travel there as much as possible, we love Bandon.

[@mynorthidaholife]

I'm a little biased, but It's a great place to live!

[@adventuresofjandk]

We don’t disagree. Very beautiful area of the Country.

[@josewiliamaraujosilva8241]

Que lugar lindo tenho um grande amigo que mora nessa cidade mais perdi o contato com ele á alguns anos parabéns ótimo trabalho. Mark Matthew ficek.

[@adventuresofjandk]

We agree. It is absolutely beautiful.

[@kenaldri4923]

I would probably live there if my Dad who was raised in Spokane hadn't taken a detour to Boston after WW2.

[@adventuresofjandk]

It’s a great town,

[@andycyr9187]

Check out Capone's restaurant

[@adventuresofjandk]

Great restaurant

[@FollowThomas]

When was this filmed, summer?

[@adventuresofjandk]

Thanks for watching. We were there over Labor Day week. Other than a couple rain showers the weather was perfect.

[@FollowThomas]

@@adventuresofjandk Looks nice there and weather looked perfect. Now probably is cold already 🙂

[@adventuresofjandk]

@@FollowThomas exactly. It’s probably about time for snow which would be pretty neat to see.

[@MrWhiskybreath]

Any dive bars?

[@adventuresofjandk]

Plenty.

Don't California Our Idaho please ☺️ We vote Red for a reason 🙂..God Bless You all

We are not Californians and trust me we vote the same way you do. God Bless you as well.

[@kenuber4014]

You should have been there in the 70's....Now, well not so much anymore. to many people, to many Californians, to many liberals. But change is a constant! It was cool as hell at onetime!

[@adventuresofjandk]

I was born in 75 so wouldn’t have been much fun for me. 😂. But I definitely get your point. Compared to Portland where we live though trust me it’s a million times better.

[@kenuber4014]

@@adventuresofjandk Portland?? You poor bastard!! Lol

[@meganmclaughlin9056]

Too bad you can't swim or eat fish out of the lake.its so polluted with lead and mercury .also alot of the drinking water is also contaminated with lead.sandpoint is a way better place to live.ive lived in both towns.you can eat the fish in lake by sandpoint.

[@adventuresofjandk]

Good points. Thanks for sharing.

As a local I say this is not accessible by local yokals.
