20 Majestic North Idaho | www.northidaho.org THE HIAWATHA TRAIL:The Route of the Hiawatha is a fun-filled adventure you won’t want to miss. This groomed biking trail follows what was once the great Milwaukee Railroad, and weaves through the mountain tops of the Bitteroot Divide, which separates Idaho and Montana. Winding through 10 tunnels and 7 high trestles, this 15-mile route crosses the rugged Bitterroot Mountains between Idaho and Montana. The Route of the Hiawatha is best known for the long, dark St. Paul Pass, or Taft Tunnel, which burrows for 1.66 miles under the Idaho/ Montana state line. Withanincrediblehistorybeginningin1906of construction,hardshipsandcalamities,unprecedentedelectrification, and of carrying passengers and freight from the Northwest to the Midwest, generations of railroaders kept the Milwaukee Road running until it finally went bankrupt in 1977. The last train west of Butte, Montana passed through in 1980. After that the line was abandoned. With government funding and private donations, the rails were removed, and the construction of this spectacular wildernessbicycleandhikingtrailwasundertakenin1997.TheIdahoportionof thetrailfirstopenedforpublicuse on May 29, 1998.
