Wallace, Idaho is a budget-friendly mountain town I like to visit year-round. You'll get majestic peaks and scenic byways all around. I’ve found plenty of fun things to do in Wallace that don’t cost a lot, or anything at all.
I like to visit from June through September when the trails are open.
To get there, I usually fly to Spokane International Airport (GEG). It's about 90 minutes away by car. You drive through the Silver Valley which is very scenic, especially along I-90.
I like to stay at the Wallace Inn. The Stardust Motel is great if you’re looking for retro charm on a budget.
