The Silver Valley is a dream come true for the outdoor enthusiasts. If you love biking, hiking, skiing, boarding, riding ATV’s, fishing, or relaxing on a river or lake, the Silver Valley is the place to be for your next travel adventure. The area is home to the Trail of the Coeur d’Alenes and Route of the Hiawatha bike trails, North America’s longest gondola – a 3.1 mile journey, and of course, a host of silver mines that give the valley its name.
