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:
“no arranged terror: no forcing of image, plan,
or thought:
no propaganda, no humbling of reality to precept:
terror pervades but is not arranged, all possibilities
of escape open: no route shut,”
—Archie Randolph Ammons (b. 1926)
“I was here first introduced to Joe.... He was a good-looking Indian, twenty-four years old, apparently of unmixed blood, short and stout, with a broad face and reddish complexion, and eyes, methinks, narrower and more turned up at the outer corners than ours, answering to the description of his race. Besides his underclothing, he wore a red flannel shirt, woolen pants, and a black Kossuth hat, the ordinary dress of the lumberman, and, to a considerable extent, of the Penobscot Indian.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
