Late summer is the perfect time to get outdoors and pick some fresh huckleberries. While there are hiking trails around the state where you can find these fresh berries, nobody wants to reveal the location of their favorite huckleberry-picking spots. That’s where Schweitzer Resort’s Huckleberry Shuttles come into play. Sign up and you’ll be taken to some of the best huckleberry spots in northern Idaho. This is one day trip the entire family will love!
Winter is not the only time to enjoy Schweitzer Resort in northern Idaho. In the summer, this resort comes alive with excellent mountain biking, dining, a chairlift, zipline, and so much more.
Plus, you’ll be taken close to the berries so little hiking is required! This makes it the perfect family day trip and even youngsters will enjoy searching for these sweet and juicy berries.
The shuttle is available on select days and you will need to sign up at least one day in advance to secure your seat. The shuttle is berry dependent so if there are little berries or they are not quite ready to be picked, the shuttle may not be running.
On this two to four-hour ride, you will join a host who will take you to remote huckleberry picking locations on the mountain. You will ride approximately eight to 10 miles and there is a 5-foot height requirement for this tour.
Whether you take the shuttle or ride an e-bike, you’ll love a day in nature picking some of Idaho’s favorite berries. It’s an adventure that individuals of all ages will love.
For more information on the shuttle and e-bike opportunities, visit the Schweitzer Resort website. You can also follow the resort on Facebook for additional information on the summer and winter activities available.
