Which is good for me, too.<br /><br />We introduced some friends from Minnesota to the trail, and they loved it. Especially at the end when the shuttle bus was waiting to take us back to our car.<br /><br />If you want to know more about the Hiawatha Trail, I <a href="http://www.uptake.com/blog/family_vacations/ultimate-family-bike-trip-idahos-hiawatha-bike-trail_4199.html">wrote about it</a> at the Uptake blog.<br /><br />It's a refreshing ride through some of the best nature Idaho has to offer. I highly recommend adding it to your list of family outings.<br /><br /><img src="http://www.pkmeco.com/images/htunnel.jpg"><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pkmeco.com/images/hwaterfall.jpg"><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7033675-9102042738069310979?l=www.pkmeco.com%2Ffamilyblog%2Findex.html'/></div>Idaho Dadhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00466078882752412292noreply@blogger.com8
