Hiking to Fern and Shadow Falls – Idaho Panhandle National Forest
This hike is located in the mountains above the North Fork of the Coeur d’Alene River in the Idaho Panhandle National Forest. This Forest comprises about 2.5 million acres of beautiful mountains, clear lakes and rivers, ancient cedar groves, fish and wildlife for a host of outdoor activities.
As for this hike, it documents a trail up to a couple of waterfalls that are lush with vegetation from the cool mist of cascading water. The trail is wide and composed mostly of large sized gravel and follows Yellow Dog Creek up about ¼ mile from the parking lot.
The falls are on the same creek, the lower is Fern Falls and the upper is Shadow Falls. To get to Fern Falls (~12 feet high), the first of the two, just take an easy 1 mile hike up the trail to the wood bridge over the creek (there’s a sign, so you can’t miss it).

Due to its relative small nature in size, many that aren’t too familiar with Idaho may be curious about the visibility and size of the gay community in Idaho. In fact, the gay presence here is much stronger than people would imagine. There is probably no other state in the United States that has such a strong and rich history of the gay and lesbian movement, than there is in Idaho.
Idaho is famous for its Boys of Boise episode, a famous gay incident that occurred during the 1950′s. But contrary to popular opinion, the gay presence in Idaho existed long before even the Boys of Boise episode. Because of this, both residents and visitors will have no problem being accepted by the community in Idaho, or finding things to do in terms of gay bars, nightlife, or gay clubs.
Generations of Idaho citizens have been gay, with both men and women living in working in Idaho as open gays. These men and women built a foundation for a strong future presence in Idaho, as they contributed to the economy, the nightlife, the culture, and to the overall success of the State. The history of the gay movement in Idaho is not an easy one, nor is it a smooth story, however the strengths and victories that the gay movement has seen in Idaho have alone created a community that is stronger, open, and more out than ever before.
