Every year, tens of thousands of people adventurers, backpackers, hunters, and vacationers are drawn to the Sawtooth Wilderness and National Recreation Area. They come to enjoy the spectacular scenery and to experience a more rugged life style away from the comforts of city life. As would be expected, this change almost always has a refreshing and revitalizing effect on a person's physical and mental state that many become addicted to the "wilderness experience." This book has been written for the outdoor enthusiast who becomes interested in the natural history, ecology, and ethnobotany of the plant life that may be encountered in the forests, high elevations, and along the trails. More than 250 species of plants are discussed.

Watch for ospreys, river otters, and belted kingfishers near the swift Selway River. Explore hundreds of miles of trails in the gently rolling, forested hills of north-central Idaho, and head to Hell’s Canyon—the deepest gorge in North America—to find both alpine tundra and cactus-studded desert. Inside you’ll find: 25 top backpacking trips throughout the state Comparative ratings for scenery, solitude, and difficulty Trail mileage, elevation gain, days on the trail, and shuttle distances Highlights, trip itineraries, and more 12 additional recommendations for backpacking trips “As an Idaho native I’ve hiked and camped here all my life, but I took away from this book some great hikes that I want to do....

Idaho is truly one of the last frontiers in the United States. With more actual wilderness than any other state in the union, save Alaska, Idaho offers the unique opportunity to see the North American continent as it once - wild and mysterious. Hiking Idaho introduces you to the wonders of Idaho's spectacular backcountry - the hard, pink granite of the Sawtooth Mountains, beloved by climbers; the popular and very accessible Iron Bog and Fishpole Lakes; the Big Horn Crags in the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness, the largest wild tract in the lower 48 states; and less-explored pockets. In Hiking Idaho, you'll find outings suited to hikers of all levels of experience, ability, and persuasion, taking you to lush rain forests, quiet meadows, and colorful canyons. Seasoned Idaho outdoor enthusiasts describe 100 of their favorite hikes, with the help of photos and maps.

With all that, Hiking Idaho is a valuable source worth much more than its weight. Save a space in your pack, easy to get to, for Hiking Idaho.
