Looking to spend some time in the best high-altitude town in the nation? Look no further, Lake City residents. You're already there. Prolific travel and tourism writer Steve Winston ranked Coeur d'Alene No. 1 in a list of the 'Top Mountain Towns in America.' Winston's list was published Tuesday by World Property Channel, a global real estate information company. Winston describes the nation's best mountain towns as filled with friendly folk, with a genuine "country" feel, and no lack of fun things to do outdoors. "Coeur d'Alene is cobbled sidewalks and gas-lit streetlamps and green awnings and red-brick storefronts, behind which lie attractive little shops, eateries, and galleries," penned Winston. "It sits on an ice-blue alpine lake with 125 miles of shoreline, from which rise 7,000-foot mountains covered in deep-green forest"/Coeur d'Alene Press. More here.
