Wild Horse Trail Scenic Byway
Part of the International Selkirk Loop. Kootenai Tribe's historic path
to fishing grounds at Lake Pend Oreille. In 1808 the first white explorer David
Thompson also utilized this trail. The "Wild Horse Trail" became more than a
path in 1863 when gold was discovered in "Wild Horse Creek," 120 miles to the
north of Bonners Ferry in British Columbia. There was a large movement
of men and pack animals along the "Wild Horse Trail" until the gold rush ceased
circa 1880. Upon arrival of the Northern Pacific railroad to this region, David
Thompson's old route became a main freight line for the railroad. Length:
48.2 miles; Allow 1.5 hours.
Scenic Sites
