Riding the Haiwatha
We finally did it! Our weekend adventure on the Haiwatha trail was so much fun! We were going to go last year, but it never happened so we talked our friends the Willards into coming with us and we had a great time! The Trail of the Haiwatha is a great biking trail that follows an old rail road line. It is about 16 miles of a gentle slope down hill. It goes through several tunnels and a bunch of awesome bridges and trellis's. The Taft tunnel is just under 1 1/2 miles of pitch black darkness, that is why in the pictures you will notice that we have lights on our bikes and helmets. The scenery is absolutely beautiful. The trail is located about 1 1/2 hours outside of Spokane right on the Montana/Idaho boarder. Aside from the camping before hand not turning out exactly how we wanted, and a little sickness still lurking all went well.

Looks like a blast! Love the pics!
It looks gorgeous! Love the views!
And it's the best when the kids can start biking with you. Makes it more fun as a family (most of the time :)
And are those clipless peddles/shoes you have there? I'm impressed. I'm working up to that level slowly. Greg's been pushing me for awhile - but the idea still freaks me out.
