The west portal of the Saint Paul Pass tunnel on the Hiawatha Trail leading from ID into MT. 1.66 miles of darkness as you cross the Bitterroot range of the Rockies. Don't stray too far to one side or you will slip into those drainage ditches on either side fo the raised riding surface. I had 750 lumens and wished I had 1,000.
Incomparable trail. Hoping to ride it again late summer.
Indyfabz - The Trail of the Hiawatha is one of the most amazing rail trails I have ever been on. I did it a few years back when I was visiting my sister in Coeur d'Alene Idaho. The scenery is breathtaking when you exit the other side. We had some pretty bright lights but could have used brighter ones. If I remember correctly, the tunnel has a curve so at one point you do not see the light at the end either way. Can't wait to get back there, thanks for posting.
