Panhandle context
The Panhandle is greener and wetter than southern Idaho — a maritime-influenced climate that fills the Selkirks and the St. Joe with dense timber. Priest Lake, the Lolo Motorway, and the Silver Valley above Wallace anchor most trips. Coeur d'Alene, Sandpoint, and St. Maries are the bases.
Suitable for family adventures with reasonable preparation.
