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.

Famous quotes containing the words route and/or description:
“A route differs from a road not only because it is solely intended for vehicles, but also because it is merely a line that connects one point with another. A route has no meaning in itself; its meaning derives entirely from the two points that it connects. A road is a tribute to space. Every stretch of road has meaning in itself and invites us to stop. A route is the triumphant devaluation of space, which thanks to it has been reduced to a mere obstacle to human movement and a waste of time.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
“It [Egypt] has more wonders in it than any other country in the world and provides more works that defy description than any other place.”
—Herodotus (c. 484–424 B.C.)
