We backtracked to the historic silver mining town of Wallace Idaho. More silver has been taken out of the mines around Wallace than anywhere else in the world. Many of the buildings in the downtown area date back to the late 1800s. Most of the mines are closed now, but the town has become a destination for mountain bikers and ATVs. We had lunch, shopped and checked out the local brewery in a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Portions of the movie Dante’s Peak, the small town in the movie threatened by the volcano, were filmed in Wallace.
