Last weekend my husband and I went on a youth leader’s retreat with our church to Silver Mountain’s new indoor water park called Silver Rapids. I had never been to Silver Mountain before at all so it was all a new experience for me, but it was very fun! On the day we went, even though it was in August, it was a chilly 65 degrees, which made me glad the park was indoors. After we checked into the hotel, we changed into our swimsuits and headed to the park. It was nice and warm inside the park so getting in the water wasn’t a huge shock (the water was pretty warm too). Read the rest of Silver Rapids indoor water park at Silver Mt. Resort in Kellogg »

Silver Mountain held their annual brewsfest event this weekend and my boyfriend and I decided to head up to the mountain and check it out. With our ticket purchase we were granted a ride up the gondola, a plastic collectors mug, 6 beer tasting tickets, free rides on the operating chair lifts and some music being performed in the amphitheater.

My friends and I had decided to go garnet hunting so we all got together one summer day and headed over to Emerald Creek. I stepped out of the car near the garnet area and saw a sign “welcome rockhounds”. Although I do not consider myself a rockhound, I was there to do some hunting for garnets. Once we had gathered our gear we walked up the ½ mile road to the visitor’s tent and applied for our digging permits from the US forest service. For $10 each we were allowed to remove 5 pounds of garnets per day, up to 30 pounds a year. I knew we would not be exceeding the daily limit but I was excited to see how much we would collect. We were given a quick explanation by the ranger on duty regarding how to use the supplied buckets, sifting baskets and the sluices, where you clean the rocks, and most importantly what the garnets would look like.

Camping in an area where you can also fish, swim and hike is always a good thing, so when my family found out about the Elk River Recreation District camping we thought we would try it out. From Moscow the city of Elk River is only 51 miles east on Hwy 8 so it is relatively nearby. The drive is very scenic and you can even follow through onto the Scenic Byway if you have a little more time.
After driving into town you will turn right on Front St., pass an RV campground with full hookups on your right and continue on Dent Rd. where you will find several camp spots along the Elk River Reservoir. The land is actually owned by the Potlatch Corp. who allows visitors to camp in the area for a fee. We spent a few nights in a tent area, which cost $8 a night and were right on the water, next to well toilets and fresh drinking water. RV sites are $15 a night but do not have full hookups. Each camp spot is a nice size with a picnic table and fire pit. The camp host, who stays the summer in his RV on-site, comes around and collects the fees.

My family and I recently joined the ranks of hundreds of hikers and walkers nationwide who have hiked to the Elk Creek Falls. The falls are located in Clearwater National Forest about 3 miles south of the town of Elk River, where there are some great camping spots. They are a relatively easy hike and the three trails lead you to the upper, middle and lower falls; he total combined height of which is an impressive 300 feet.

Rathdrum, just 14 miles northwest of Coeur d’Alene is a great little town and they have a wonderful city park. While visiting family we took our children to the park to get some of their energy out and found the park to be not only fun, but really pretty. The Rathdrum City Park is located on Hwy. 53 at Latah Rd. near the downtown area and is right next door to a feed store. The feed store actually gave us something else to do after the park. We went in and perused their aisles looking for a leash for our dog and looked at all their baby chicks and ducks. They even had a few rabbits there also.

When it is hot outside sometimes you just crave a little ice cream. I have found that the best and most inexpensive ice cream around can be found at the Washington State University Creamery. Not only does the creamery sell ice cream in Ferdinand’s Ice Cream Shoppe, but they also sell the cheese that is made on site with milk from WSU’s Knotts Dairy.

Farmer’s Markets have always been a great place to get fresh local produce and meet some interesting people and Moscow’s Downtown Market is no different. For the past few Saturdays I have frequented the Moscow Farmer’s Market off of Main Street, downtown. I have bought amazingly sweet cherries and some great bread as well as heard some really good music. Read the rest of Moscow Farmer’s Market »

While camping at Graham Creek up the Coeur d’Alene River recently my husband and I went to Steamboat Pond to go fishing. I am never very lucky in the river so I was glad for some still water to try my luck, and boy did I have luck. On my first cast I caught a 12-inch rainbow and I was hooked, if you know what I mean. I soon found out that it wasn’t so much that I was a master fisherman as the fact that the stocked pond is teeming with fish.
Standing on the dock that juts out over the pond you can watch the fish jumping all over the surface just asking to be caught. I fished with a lure and they seemed to really like it, because my husband also tried some bait fishing and they weren’t as attracted to that. Those little rainbow trout that they stock the pond with are real fighters, which makes catching them all the more satisfying.
