Hidden guides combine unique travel choices, outdoor adventures and little-known locales into a guide where vacations meet adventures. Each guide includes detailed maps, complete internet information for each listing, highlighted author favorites, suggested itineraries and walking and driving tours. In Hidden Idaho, well-respected veteran travel writer Richard Harris balances coverage of Idaho's growing travel facilities, including dude ranches, alpine cabin rentals, and secluded fishing lodges, with extensive details on the state's many natural attractions. Truly two guides in one, Hidden Idaho serves as both a travel guide and an outdoor adventure handbook with full listings describing 53 parks, 29 wildlife-viewing spots, 25 trout streams, and 143 campgrounds. It reveals those uniquely Idaho spots, including 40 ski resorts and 10 hot springs plus 23 mom 'n' pop diners and 6 local wineries. Hidden Idaho also zeros in on the state's many out-of-the-ordinary sites like the Basque Museum and Cultural Center, the Swiss Village Cheese Factory, and the Oasis Bordello Museum.

This review is from: Hidden Idaho: Including Boise, Sun Valley, and Yellowstone National Park (Paperback)
This book was a fabulous guide to planning a family vacation. As it turned out, we followed a similar path as the one described in the book --across Idaho to Yellowstone. Advance plans included sites described in this book, and when we added activities, we always checked with the book first. It was never wrong. Using this book helped make our family trip (with three teenagers!) a fun adventure. Thanks Richard Harris for all your good research and tips!

This review is from: Hidden Idaho: Including Boise, Sun Valley, and Yellowstone National Park (Hidden Travel) (Paperback)
This book is helpful. There are not a lot of Idaho-specific guidebooks, and this one is pretty comprehensive. One drawback is that it does not have any pictures. Idaho has some beautiful wilderness areas and a few pictures would greatly enhance this book.

This review is from: Hidden Idaho: Including Boise, Sun Valley, and Yellowstone National Park (Hidden Travel) (Paperback)
Although it otherwise is an impressive and useful work, we were disappointed by lack of color photos.
