Wallace
Photogenic pocket-sized city in Idaho's Silver Valley mining district, Wallace sits alongside the South Fork of the Coeur d'Alene River and carries a notable history: it was the birthplace of Hollywood actress Lana Turner and the filming location for the 1997 disaster film Dante's Peak. Founded in 1884, it serves as the county seat of Shoshone County and has a café and restaurant scene that punches above its size, with the Trail of the Coeur d'Alenes rail trail passing through town.
