khuon I hear they are getting ready to open an extention to the CT here I don't know if it is going to be all the way to Arlington (Thats the eventual plan) yet but I will keep my ear out for the opening.
ngateguy: The trestle across the south end of Lake Coeur d'Alene is for the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes, not the Centennial Trail. The Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes is 72 miles long and runs from Mullan ID. (hard on the Idaho/Montana border, on the east side of Lake Coeur d'Alene south to Plummer Idaho. It's a rails-to-trails, so it's pretty flat. It goes through some pretty country, largely uninhabited, lots of rest stops, restrooms, picnic areas and just a very nice way to spend a day. You could ride on the Centennial Trail to it's eastern end, then about 10 miles over Fourth of July Pass to Cataldo and pick up the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes there, but the two don't connect.
