Memorial day camp trip to CDA

We are planning a driving trip from colo. to the Coeur d%26#39;Alene area for a week, over Memorial Day time. Plan to camp and also stay in accommodations. Will bring bikes and plan to ride the trail of the CDA among other rides. also plan to fish ans dhike. May shoot for Priest Lake and Elkins cabins, based upon reviews I%26#39;ve read. What kind of temps are we likely to encounter day and night?

Any other suggestions of things not to miss?

THANKS!

I don%26#39;t know the numbers... weather.com could provide that. But, it won%26#39;t be summer! We still have ';feet'; of snow in our yards and May is more spring-like than summer.

Coeur d%26#39;Alene is a great choice, and the weather should be cool at night at the end of may, and comfortable enough for shorts and t-shirts during the day. Here is a link for average temperatures.

There are lots of things to do. Check out fyinorthidaho.com for events calendars.

Camping should be great, if you want to stay in a hotel that weekend book fast as Coeur d%26#39;Alene, is hosting the state soccer championships that weekend.

Just a follow-up, as we get closer to our trip-How much snow is still lingering in the area CdA, Sandpoint, and north up to Priest Lake trails? Anyone know? We plan to do quite a bit of hiking, from May 25th to the 31st.

Low elevation trails are starting to become snow free, but there is considerable snow in the upper elevations and sheltered valleys. The remaining snow also increases as you go north from Coeur d%26#39; Alene. Some of the USFS campgrounds that would normally open at Memorial Day weekend may not be able to because of remaining snow, it will all depend on how warm the next couple of weeks are. I would suggest checking with the local USFS Ranger Districts for current hiking/camping/snow conditions. Here is the web site for the National Forests in North Idaho: www.fs.fed.us/ipnf On the web site you will find a web page for ';Offices/Districts'; under the ';Visitor Info'; section.

I%26#39;m hoping the weather is now shaping up, it%26#39;s supposed to be 90 by this Saturday the 17th, so hopefully Memorial day weekend will be as nice!
