When the Kokanee spawn in the lake, Bald Eagles migrate in to feast on the fish.  This one seemed to be observing me as much as I was observing him.

An awesome place to stay right at the base of Schweitzer Resort!! Convenient location with restaurants within walking, or about a 5 minute drive to Sandpoint. Very clean room. Kind staff. Free breakfast at the restaurant in the parking lot, it was delicious!! Would absolutely stay here again.

Upon check-in I told the clerk that I wanted to pay with cash, but he insisted that I provide him with a credit/debit card. This put a strain on my checking account. He wouldn't accept cash.

5/5 - Excellent

Ponderay has all of the amenities that one would need while traveling. Full service town close to sand point and Schweitzer too. I even went to the movies.

Sandpoint was lovely to walk around the downtown and beach area. Didn't explore Ponderay, but appeared to be more spread out like a suburb.

5/5 - Excellent
