Sandpoint and Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort

On our day off we did more exploring and went to Sandpoint and then up to the Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort.  Sandpoint is less than 50 miles from Coeur d'Alene up Hwy 95.  Sandpoint is a cute little town on Lake Pend Orielle, the largest lake in Idaho.

After cruising downtown we decided it was time for lunch and we decided on Fiesta Bonita for Mexican food.  It was good, but nothing spectacular. The server we had was a hoot and it made lunch much more enjoyable. We visited a few shops and enjoyed speaking with all the friendly people.

After lunch we took the scenic drive up to Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort with plenty of photo ops along the way.



It was a beautiful warm sunny afternoon and perfect for a cocktail outdoors near the snow.
