Trail markings on Tubbs Hill in Coeur d'Alene are some of the best I've seen on local hikes, making it an especially welcome place for beginners.

COEUR d’ALENE — Tubbs Hill isn’t exactly what you’d call a well-kept secret in Coeur d’Alene: The spot is featured in travel guides, and its Main Loop Trail is one of the first to appear on AllTrails when searching the app for hikes in the area.
Understandably, avid hikers can be wary of spots like these, traveling farther out of town for a trail that feels more “worth it.” But I think Tubbs Hill deserves the attention it gets — not every hike needs to be a hero’s journey, and it's nice to know there's a spot that has something for just about everyone.
