Leonia Trail is a 6.6-mile out-and-back hike in Idaho's Idaho Panhandle National Forests, within the Bonners Ferry Ranger District. The route rises from about 2,800 feet to a high point of nearly 4,000 feet, with an elevation gain of 1,135 feet, and is rated moderate. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show July and August highs around 81°F with lows in the low 40s and the fewest wet days of the year. That station sits about 900 feet lower than the trail's high point, so temperatures on the summit run cooler. Several other hikes lie close by. Timber Mountain is about half a mile away, and East Fork Boulder and the Kootenai River Walk are each within about a mile and a half. For an overnight stay, Yaak River Campground (MT) is roughly 6.5 miles off.
