Viewski Loop and Waterfall Trail along Schweitzer Creek

We drove up to the Schweitzer Ski Resort near Ponderay Idaho to combine two hikes at one trailhead on the roundabout: Viewski Loop Trail and the Waterfall Trail that goes down along Schweitzer Creek, about 4 miles with 800 ft of overall gain. We went counterclockwise along the Viewski Loop. View of Lake Pend Oreille from the viewpoint on this trail along with some zooms
