This is a mixed surface route. The first 20 or so miles are on pavement as you proceed by Fernan Lake and up and over Fernan Saddle . Follow Windy Ridge up and over, remember to fill up water bottles at the spring, and then descend to the CDA river via Lost Mines Road. After crossing the river, stay right on FSR 209 and take this all the way until it intersects with the black top after Bumblebee Campground. Turn right, which is south, and proceed to the Snake Pit. Fill up on water again or maybe a little further down the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes. Join the trail at the Snake Pit and follow all the way to the Bull Run junction. Cross over the river and pickup Highway 3 maintaining southerly direction. Follow Highway 3 to Killarney Lake Road. Turn right onto Killarney Lake Road. Follow KLR until it turns into Beauty Bay Road or FSR 438. Proceed up and over Mt. Coeur d'Alene and then down into Beauty Bay Campground. Right turn onto HWY 97 and proceed to Yellowstone Trail. Proceed to the campground on Yellowstone Trail, which is a right turn, for water. Retrace steps and follow Yellowstone Trail to CDA Lakefront Drive or go up Sunnyside for a little more climbing. This route takes you up Sunnyside which hits 11% for a short stretch. Once in CDA, grab a cup of coffee at Parkside and enjoy the view of the lake.
