Route Description
Interstate 90 enters Idaho and Kootenai County just east of the Spokane River bridge near the community of State Line (which is the smallest city in Idaho). I-90 proceeds east through Post Falls to Coeur d'Alene. In Coeur d'Alene, which is the Kootenai County seat, I-90 meets U.S. Route 95. I-90 turns southeast and passes north of downtown, which is accessible via an Interstate Business Loop, and Lake Coeur d'Alene. I-90 continues east-southeast to Fourth of July Summit (elevation 3,081 feet (939 m)) and Cataldo, Idaho, which is home to the Old Cataldo Mission built in 1853. Shortly after leaving Cataldo, I-90 leaves Kootenai County and enters Shoshone County. The freeway passes through or near the communities of Pinehurst, Kellogg, Osburn, Wallace, and Mullan. Wallace is the Shoshone county seat. I-90 leaves Shoshone County and Idaho at Lookout Pass (elevation 4,725 feet (1,440 m)) and enters Montana.
