We traveled from Montana through Idaho and into Washington! On the way, we stopped in Sand Point, ID which is about 60 miles south of the Canadian border. While there, we camped in Kaniksu National Forest. Spring temperatures brought rain to low elevations and snow to the higher elevations! This created an ideal spring powder day at local hill Schweitzer Ski Resort, about 9 miles from town. Sand Point sits on Lake Pend Oreille, which was beautiful to walk along.
After a few days in Idaho, we drove towards Stevens’ Pass, Washington, passing through Spokane, the surprisingly dry plains of Eastern WA. One of the highlights along the way was Leavenworth, WA. The entire town center is modeled from typical Bavarian villages. We enjoyed a Bavarian dinner that night, complete with sauerkraut and schnitzel! An hour west was Steven’s Pass, which was a ski resort that we enjoyed for a few days. Now, we are headed towards the beach!
