If you plan several day trips, allow at least 4 nights so you’re not rushed each morning and can use hotel amenities between excursions.

- Use a mid-stay evening at the Davenport Spa & Salon or the hotel’s heated pool to recover between active days.

|---|---|
| Coeur d'Alene | About 30–35 minutes |
| Mount Spokane | Roughly 45–60 minutes |
