Hiking Idaho: A Guide To The State's Greatest Hiking Adventures (State Hiking Guides Series)

Mixed in with descriptions of hikes is depressing commentary about the politics around Idaho conservation efforts. I was really only looking for a hiking guide - not a diatribe.

Great selection of hikes with decent descriptions. An numerical elevation gain value would be very useful in the route summaries instead of trying to eye-ball it from the line graph. Also, no index is weird.Note for dog people: contrary to what this book states, dogs are 100% allowed in wilderness areas. For many people, hiking with their dogs is half of the enjoyment and this book would falsely turn many people off of many trails for no reason. This is a serious inaccuracy and flaw in this book, I'm not sure how that made it past any editor at Falcon.

Fast Delivery and great content. I'm excited to get on the trails!

My parents are moving and it was a gift. As much as I could look at it, it seemed very detailed! My dad already has plans. He said it’s very good.

Excellent directions; details & maps were all up to date.My only quibble is his descriptions--his "sublime views" weren't--there are far more striking views elsewhere in Idaho--and his "popular" lake had so many visitors it was like visiting a state park on a weekend. But we were glad we did the "Toxaway Loop" anyway.

We have been using this book to read about possible hikes to take when we get to Idaho this fall. Will be able to tell you more when we get back. It is well written and once we learned the layout easy to follow our areas of interest.

Great book. It's got about 4 hikes in different areas all over ID. I'll probably have to supplement with one that has closer hikes but if I want a hike in a certain area I grab this one and it'll have something for me for sure!

This book is a nice encyclopedia to read at home to help planning. The occasional waypoint coordinates are not useful without an accompanying datum. The maps lack a graticule and elevation contours, so they are not useful for field navigation. Maps can be both legible and useful. Those in this guide are merely legible.
