Northern Idaho

Lake Pend Oreille in Sandpoint

After we left Waterton Lakes NP, we headed south into Idaho. We'd never been to northern Idaho, and we wanted to check out the area. The area between Sandpoint and Coeur d'Alene is just beautiful. We stopped at a park in Sandpoint to explore and spent the night at the county fairgrounds.

love how they're all looking down :)

yep, that's a model of the Statue of Liberty at the end of the dock

it's a memorial for something, but I don't remember what

After scoping out Coeur d'Alene the next day, we headed south towards Boise, but stopped and spent the night at this BLM spot next to the Snake River. It was our first time staying in a BLM spot, and it was an interesting experience. There was a signboard saying it was BLM land and with some fishing regulations, but no info about spending the night there- we got that info from an app.

the outhouse is a nice touch
