Kootenai Falls Swinging Bridge

This weekend we took a day trip to Kootenai Falls to check out the swinging bridge. Kootenai Falls is just past Libby but before Troy, about an hour and a half from Whitefish. Erin had been out there and highly recommended it. We were not disappointed! It was beautiful and the "hike" was perfect for the kids.
Annemarie all ready to go!
The happy hikers.
This is the bridge that went over the train tracks. A train went by while we were crossing it. The conductor waved to the kids and blew the train whistle. It was so loud!
The path ran along the river and we saw a group of kayakers. We think it may have been a class there were so many of them and they kept practicing paddling and flipping over in the rapids. It was a lot of fun to watch.
The swinging bridge. Only five people are allowed on it at a time. It was really well enclosed but it moved a lot.
The boys and I out on the bridge. They enjoyed it and loved making it move.
The gorgeous view from the bridge.
Doug and the kids on the bridge.
Another fun family outing!
