wards and accolades, yeah, we get ’em. Not just
because Sandpoint’s a pretty town, but because
we’re beautiful from the inside out. We smile
and wave and stop to visit. We help each other, get
behind causes, and make things happen, like bike
trails and fountains. We saved our historic theater.
We decorate everything, walls and street corners
and everywhere in between. We laugh and enjoy life.
We stop to look at the view. So you’ll know when you
come here, we love our town.

Actor Ben Stein, who spends his summers in
Sandpoint, once wrote: “Now, I have something
to live for: to come back to a place where no one
brags, no one cuts you off in traffic, where you do
not hear one car horn honking at you all summer. ...
Where you race in your boat under osprey and bald
eagles that are impossibly powerful and swift and
yet real and not in captivity. Dear, dear Sandpoint,
stay as magical as you are, stay free and
far, far away from the captivity of the modern.”

“hip,” strong community spirit.”
Sandpoint exudes good juju, and people
take notice. We have a Spirit that shines at our
festivals and farmers market. We have a thing for
the Arts and artists and performers who love
this town and wouldn’t live anywhere else. We
have live music practically every night of the

series where you
can bring your own blanket and cooler – that’s
right, the Festival at Sandpoint.

We have a little slice of heaven in them thar
hills, and you can even see it from town. A ski
mountain that’s Uncrowded with forever
views of Lake Pend Oreille. Schweitzer Mountain
Resort is our mountain, but we don’t mind
sharing, even on powder days. We ski and board,
but we also go tubing, snowshoeing, snow biking,
skate skiing, zip lining and even venturing out
into the Endless Backcountry.

“It’s easy to get seduced by
Sandpoint.”
With big, fat Lake Pend Oreille and pristine
Priest Lake, rivers and creeks, mountains and
hills, Sandpoint has life by the outdoors. We
like to see how many sports we can fit into one
day. And guess what, we’re the only ones out
there! We ski and ride, skate or diagonal stride.
We like to get off our horses and mountain bikes
and feed on huckleberries. We skinny dip in
high mountain lakes. We rope swing and jump
off rocks. We invite you to join us.
“Idaho: The Last Wilderness.”
“I drove once until there was no more
road, and then hiked until there was no
more trail. Like leprechauns at rainbow’s
end, we found a deep pool at the base of a
waterfall, by a grove of ancient cedars. We
caught fish until our arms were tired, and
then watched the night sky theatrics. There
was river music, white noise for sleep. And I
promised never to tell the exact location.”
