COEUR d’ALENE — Tubbs Hill is a priceless treasure, but numbers also show just how well-loved and well-used it is.
A trail counter installed in July 2022 on the popular hiking hill on the shores of Lake Coeur d’Alene tallied 387,027 visitors to the 165 acres in 2024. The peak day was July 4, when 6,474 made the trek up, down or around the city-owned land.
Tubbs Hill, which is home to ponderosa pine, Douglas fir, Western white pine and larch trees, has a trail system that leads around, up to the 2,500-foot summit and down to the shoreline.
