A mixture of forested mountains, alpine peaks, wildflower meadows, deep river canyons, and high plains deserts, Idaho is a paradise for golf, skiing, fly fishing, and river rafting. Boise, the capital, is the state's largest city and airline hub. North of Boise are golf, lake, and ski resorts from McCall in the south to Sandpoint and Coeur D'Alene in the north. East of Boise are the ski slopes of Ketchum and Sun Valley. East of Sun Valley are Craters of the Moon National Monument, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, and the small town of Island Park just across the border from Yellowstone National Park. Boise's Basque Museum and Cultural Center reflects having the largest Basque population in the U.S. Reflecting Idaho's diverse heritage, near the Idaho Historical Museum in Boise's Julia Davis Park is the Idaho Black History Museum's chronicle of the slave York who served the Lewis & Clark Expedition. After a family visit to the Peregrine Fund's World Center for Birds of Prey and an outdoor performance at the Idaho Shakespeare Festival, the next stop after Boise is likely to be Payette Lake in McCall or Sun Valley and Ketchum. About 100 miles north of Boise, past Cascade Lake, McCall takes you to the shores of Payette Lake. Go golfing, fishing, hiking, biking, waterskiing, sailing, boating, or whitewater river rafting. Ski or snowshoe Brundage Mountain or Tamarack Resorts, as well as Ponderosa State Park in winter. Ice skate year-round at Manchester Ice & Event Centre. About 450 miles north of Boise, there are resort lakes near skiing and golf at Coeur d'Alene, Hayden Lake, and Sandpoint. Golf, tennis, mountain biking, hiking, fishing, rafting, and hunting are popular in Sun Valley and Ketchum. Sockeye salmon may no longer do much spawning in Redfish Lake, but the boating and mountain scenery in the Sawtooth National Recreation Area make the short trip north to Stanley worthwhile. When the snows come the whole family will head for the slopes of Soldier Mountain, Bald Mountain, Dollar Mountain, or the Sun Valley Resort. A tiny forested town of about 250 people, Island Park has a large reservoir with fishing and boating, as well as Henry's Fork of the Snake River for fly fishing. It's only 15 miles from Yellowstone as well.

Located in Harrison, Idaho next to the world-renowned Trail of the Coeur d' Alenes, The Cycle Haus offers bicycle rentals, service, sales, & shuttle, along with delicious Doma coffee, craft beer, wine, and delectable food options. With excellent products and service, this is a place where people can come and enjoy good vibes, whether they're a cyclist or not. The great ambiance offers indoor seating with a one of a kind bar and a courtyard that allows everyone to kick back and unwind while enjoying the feel of the local culture.
We had a excellent experience with The Cycle Haus, both renting our electric bikes for a day and enjoying refreshments there twice. The bikes were like new and very easy and comfortable to use. We went 36 miles round trip down to the end of the bike trail at Plummer in less than 3 hours. It was a breeze and so pretty, even in the smoke. We also enjoyed a beer the day before and again after our ride, on the front porch overlooking the little town. The gal who helped us was friendly and efficient. I think this is one of the best things going in Harrison. I hope we can return and hear some live music someday on another trip.
