Sandpoint isn’t the only place you go here in Sandpoint, so lets take a look at some other great areas around here, and what elevation you can expect to see!

Schweitzer

This is one of my personal favorite ski resorts out there! At only about 20 minutes from Sandpoint it offers amazing ski runs, a fun village full of restaurants, shops, and even pizza. The snow is the best I have seen, and it is an amazing place to visit for locals.

Sandpoint’s ski resort village sits is at an elevation of 4,700 feet. The Schweitzer Mountain Resort (which is home to an awesome new hotel) has a summit elevation of 6400 feet.

It’s awesome that you can gain so much elevation in comparison to Sandpoint in such a short period of time.

Bayview Idaho

Bayview is on the complete opposite of Lake Pend O’rielle from Sandpoint, and also has a completely different feel! This is home to some great businesses, and is even home to some of the last floating homes on the lake today.

Unsurprisingly, considering the town is just as on the lake as Sandpoint it actually sits at the same exact elevation of 2,096 feet above sea level!

Scotchman Peak

This hiking trail is one of the most intense trails in the area, as it is a 7.6 mile hike that gains 3,664 during that distance.

You will most likely see plenty of wildlife including but not limited to birds, squirrels and the iconic mountain goats near the top. at the top, when you see the views!

At an elevation of 7,009 feet you can see into Montana and an amazing view of the lake.

This hike is definitely for those that are either used to going hiking, or are willing to take their time! However it really is a great trail.
