HIKING
If you look out across the water by the docks, and up at the mountain to your left, that’s Gold Hill! This is a great, shaded hiking trail with stunning views of Sandpoint, the Selkirk mountain range, and beautiful Lake Pend Oreille at the top! 5 miles round trip. 10 minute drive from the condo to the trailhead. This trail is more shaded than Mickinnick.

If you find yourself out late - well past the time the street lights came on, you’ll probably end up at “The ‘Niner.” This is the oldest, local, classic dive bar with fair-priced cocktails, a great rotating beer selection, and a line-up of local music and entertainment almost every night. Open until 2am
