Located eleven miles east of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho at exit 28 off I-90, Fourth of July Pass Recreation area provides a fun place to play in the winter.
The Nordic trail system is groomed via snowmobile with tracks set along most of the trail system. The trails are great for classic skiing. Skate skiing would be possible, but the trail is fairly narrow. There's a separate snowshoe trail system, and everybody has access to the neat warming hut that's just a short distance up trail from the parking lot. In the winter, visitors do need the Park-N-Ski sticker, available online for either three days or as an annual pass. Note that Washington SnoPark permits are not accepted here.
