Initial Trail Route Maps - Centennial, Coeur d'Alene & Hiawatha Trails

A wealth of information is available online about these trails but I haven't come across details describing how to ride them all in 1 tour. Apparently, there are several abandoned rail grades that could form a loop but it may not be possible at present due to washouts, missing bridges or trespassing issues.

Since the existing online trail maps vary in size and format, I used 2wheeltech.com's Google Maps API interface this morning to create 3 route maps representing the trails. These maps allow a route to be mapped over a standard, satelite, topo or hybrid map; thus, they can be useful when accurate.

If you would like to use my maps as an aid to preparing for a tour, following are links to them. No GPS coordinates were available to create the maps so please use them only as a basic guide to the approximate location of the trails. In other words, use at your own risk!

Route of the Hiawatha Trail

Attention GPS Users
If you have rode any of the above trails with a GPS unit and have a database of trail coordinates, please send them to me or upload them yourself to the 2wheeltech.com trail route database. Adding a trail route is FREE.

Trails in Fresno, California are very lengthy and intense. Another place is San Francisco, California where hills are very steep and hard to climb.
