Where the Waterfalls Are
Wallace sits in or near the North Idaho Panhandle area of Idaho. The Panhandle is Idaho's wettest region, with cedar and hemlock forest that feels closer to the Pacific Northwest than to the Rockies. Glaciers scoured these valleys, leaving steep side drainages where creeks plunge toward the Kootenai River and Lake Pend Oreille. Near Bonners Ferry, Snow Creek Falls and Copper Falls are reached by short forest trails, while Bonner County falls lie around Priest River. Farther south, Fern Falls sits in the Coeur d'Alene Mountains of Shoshone County, and Elk Creek Falls in Clearwater County is a series of drops in a rugged canyon. Moss, ferns and mist define the character here. Read the Idaho waterfall guide.
