While in the area, you might want to visit Schweitzer’s hiking trails!
Take in majestic views of Lake Pend Oreille and the surrounding mountain ranges while you feast your taste buds on delicious bursts of huckleberry goodness. Whether or not you’ve ever enjoyed these iconic Northwest berries, you are in for a tangy, sweet and tart treat! Our typical huckleberry season lasts from late July until late August.
Sweetness worth stopping for! – eating these berries may make you forget that you came for a hike and two hours later you could find yourself only 100 feet down the trail with a full belly and a silly purple smile!
