Pulaski Tunnel Trail

Wallace ID and the Pulaski Tunnel Trail

Idaho Gems - Pulaski Trail

Wallace, Idaho

Wallace is located in the heart of Idaho's silver mining region, and the area has produced more silver than any other mining district in the United States. The area saw a lot of contention between miners and the mine owners - the Army had to come in a couple times to settle things down.

I-90 was built through Wallace on a raised viaduct. The original proposal called for a surface level highway, but that would have destroyed much of the city. Local leaders were able to get downtown Wallace designated as the Wallace Historic District, which spared the historic heart of the city. Minig is still done in the area, but Wallace now draws tourists for the city itself and for access to nearby mountains, trails and lakes.

The Photos (in order)

S05A0124 - The Northern Pacific Railroad Depot now serves as a railroad museum

W12A0079 - Historic downtown Wallace

W12A0056 - This sculpture of a Silver Valley mining family is located on the grounds of the Wallace Visitor Center along with a lot of mining equipment

W12A0071 - Visitors can pose for pictures inside this small spaceship, located in front of the Red Light Garage; I like the retro Stardust Motel sign, too

W12A0075 - The Oasis Bordello Museum highlight a part of Wallace's history; although the building looks older, the bordello was in operation until the 1970s, so much of the interior features a classic 70s look

W12A0083 - Wallace Mayor Ron Gariton declared the town to be the center of the universe after getting too much attention from the EPA for his tastes; a sewer cover in the intersection of Bank and 6th Streets marks the exact location

S05A0122 - North of town is the Burke Ghost Town including abandoned buildings from the Hecla Mine

S05A0101 - Further up the road is Cooper Pass, where one can access several hiking trails, including the Stateline Trail with views of Pear Lake

Wallace Idaho

While looking for a place to write, I found Wallace, Idaho. This historic mining town maintains it's connections to it's beginning by the people who live there and keep it alive today.

Wallace sits ready for fresh ideas and new beginnings.

Remembering the August 20th 1910 Fire Arthur Fay's Account,. Wallace Idaho

The Music at the beginning sounds like Batman is going to be in this. Sorry he's not in this one.

The Largest Forest Fire in U.S. History burned its way into the South and East sides of Wallace Idaho on August 20th - 21st, 1910. For 36 hours this fire burned an area as large as the State of Connecticut. A 29 year old by the name of Arthur Fay, with his wife Mabel, and two small children, Adelaide and Clark, witnessed the events of that summer.

In the late 1950's, at the age of 73, Arthur recounted those events the best he could. Although he, his wife, and children escaped, he never returned to Wallace. This is his account of that hot, dry, summer (much like the one we have today in 2015).

This presentation of HWPS and Auggie Dog Productions is to remember the event and honor all those families and fire fighters who lost their lives and the men, women, and children who had their lives changed. This one fire forever shaped how forest fires are fought.

Although this is an abridged account, and sound and voice manipulation was used to drive the narrative and make this more entertaining, we have been careful to keep the original intent and feeling of his thoughts (the best we could).

Historic Three Blaze Trail, Frank Church Wilderness, Idaho

Re-Discovery of the Long-forgotten Historical Three Blaze Trail. Years of neglect have placed this historical site in jeopardy of extinction. Hopefully, the U.S. Forest Service will place this trail higher on its priority list, and clear the trail for future generations to enjoy.

'Who..What..When??' ELMER'S FOUNTAIN, Wallace Idaho/Mullan Episode 02

Authentic Functioning Folk-Art. My first visit to this place. Elmer's Fountain sits just off the East bound lane of I-90 about 5 & Half miles from Wallace, right before Mullan. Being in the Silver Valley, of course it is made from old mining equipment! Location is beautiful. I didn't hike up to the mine though, perhaps another day (I'm to fat to do much hiking anymore).

Really a nice place. I was a little impressed!

Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes - Wallace, Idaho I-90 Viaduct

Riding the trail through the I-90 viaduct in Wallace, Idaho. Wallace was the site of the last stop light on the US Interstate Highway System (early 1990s). The viaduct was built over the old rail line so that it did not wipe out half of downtown Wallce (a historic district established to save the town from I-90). The rail was then abandoned and converted to a rail-trail.

Highway 12 is the main road which goes through the area. it is almost exactly one mile above sea level. and the Idaho-Montana State Line. When IO went through here last in late May of 2004, there was a light snow, and there was plenty of snow on the ground. Conditions are much nicer today. - June 19, 2017 - Travels with Phil by Phil Konstantin -
