Nestled between the Coeur d’Alene Mountains and the Bitterroot Range, the Silver Valley boasts breathtaking scenery and historic charm. Early entrepreneurs were attracted by the anticipated glitter of gold, yet the promised“gold”turned out to be overshadowed by its just as enticing cousin, Silver. The town of Wallace popped up in 1884 to accommodate the influx of men (and a few women) seeking their fortunes in the luster of precious metals. With a year-round abundance of opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts, the area shows that riches and rewards come in many forms.
