Once a booming silver mining town, this area 25 miles east of Coeur d'Alene is reinventing itself as a tourist destination and is rapidly becoming a renowned recreational mecca.
This extended mountain community is located along Interstate 90 in northern Idaho's Shoshone County, between Fourth-of-July Pass and Lookout Pass. With federal and state ownership of forest land nearing 80%, the county's population density is five people per square mile! This helps make the Silver Valley a four season mountain recreation destination.
