Today is a day that is threatening light rain, so we decided against biking in favor of hiking the Pulaski Trail out of Wallace, Id.
If you don't know the history of Ed Pulaski, or the pulaski firefighting tool that is still used today, check out either the book or the PBS movie entitled 'The Big Burn'. Ed Pulaski was instrumental is saving many firefighters during this 1910 blaze that leveled the town of Wallace and burned much of the Silver Valley.
The Pulaski Trail is a two mile hike in each direction, which is slightly challenging due to it's climb. We made it though. There was moderate traffic in each direction, but we had ample opportunities to enjoy the lovely scenery. The trail follows a creek the entire way. Check out our photos:
We made it back with sore muscles and the sense of accomplishment. Tomorrow we all begin the trek to our next adventures...
