Mineral Ridge Trail a quick fix for hikers

HIKING — David Taylor, who’s already sampled some of the region’s choice early season trails , made an early morning hike today on the Mineral Ridge Trail, which starts from the Beauty Bay area of Lake Coeur d’Alene.  (Head south from I-90 at the Wolf Lodge Bay exit).

The trail was in good shape and the view, as always, didn’t disappoint.

• This is one of the many destinations mentioned in my story about the visual pleasures of day hiking in April .
