This town first popped up on our radar when the Smithsonian named it one of the top 15 small towns to visit in 2021. Then as we were preparing our trip for the Pacific Northwest Wallace AGAIN appeared as a go to location for Rails to Trails. OK we have to check this place out! We are not at all sorry that we did. There is so much history here and we enjoyed the tour from the Sierra Silver Mine. Keep in mind, we are only showing a brief section of the tour. You, yourself would want to experience the full tour. Where ever you go, there you are. Wallace, Idaho was not a disappointment.

Nice video! Great quality footage, narration, and mine tour. Years ago, I hitchhiked from a national guard summer camp in Boise to the Craters of the Moon National Monument. Returned to Boise along the Snake River. Idaho is such a beautiful state! Thanks for the video!

Wallace used to have the only stop light on Interstate 90 from Boston to Seattle before they rerouted the highway.

Love the historic town. The mine tour was awesome. I love how he demonstrated all the equipment. Not the shiny stuff! 🤣 This was fun, thanks for sharing.

Yeah I got the feeling he still enjoyed playing with it too! 🤣 Maybe someday you and Jill can work camp there! We’d come and visit you too!

I love finding random and serendipitous spots. It’s like Michael always says, “when opportunity meet preparation.” After it was named in the Smithsonian Magazines one of the top 15 small towns I put it on our bucket list. Then lo and behold Wallace came up again in my rails to trails FB group. It had bike trails and an RV park right next to it. That’s when I KNEW it was meant to be! All roads lead to where you are supposed to be.

Well, the locals were right! That tour was fascinating. Wow. Wallace to me, seems very reminiscent to Placerville with the freeway nearly going through town.

@CaliforniaTravelVideos 2 жыл бұрын

You are right as a lot of the mining towns share similar history. Ours here in Cali however is about 50 years before. When we went on the bike ride the Folsom all the blown up rock still there from the gold mining days blew my mind.
