Spring into the mountains!
As the weather starts to warm, it’s time to head outside. Take your pick of hiking, biking, dirt biking or however else you like to play in nature. Spring is a great time to plan a trip to Wallace.

If you’re lucky the ski hills stay open into spring and you can take a few turns on the slopes in short sleeves and not even get a chill! Gotta love Wallace!
Spring is also a good time to spend indoors. if the weather’s not so great head to one of the many museums or mining tours which are open year round.
