Since we’re still on the road, I simply don’t have the time to do our trip to Sandpoint, Idaho justice so I will write a more extensive article upon my return.
Outside magazine named Sandpoint as one of America’s Top Dream Towns. Here is glimpse of this paradise in the North Idaho Panhandle….

Our lakeside retreat at Dover Bay Bungalows with Grandma and Grandpa.
Biking the 9 miles of trails at Dover Bay along the lake, across wetlands and through forests.
Discovering a secret hike at Verwolf Vista Park (crossroads: Shannon Lane and Lakeshore Avenue).
That led to these views of Lake Pend Oreille, one of the largest inland lakes in North America.
And arguably one of the most gorgeous as Dad and I witnessed during an early-morning bike ride.
No trip to Sandpoint is complete without an afternoon at 18-acre City Beach with huckleberry ice cream.
Topped off by my mom’s delicious birthday dinner on the cossetted patio at Trinity overlooking City Beach.
A glimpse at Sandpoint’s grandeur, yes. But justice has not yet been served.
