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 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.

Although it otherwise is an impressive and useful work, we were disappointed by lack of color photos.

I enjoy the "Hidden" series of travel guides and this one does not dissappoint. It is both useful and entertaining and well worth purchasing. However, the last edition was 2004, so be sure an double-check any attractions beforehand to see if they are still open and located where they were seven years ago. Otherwise, you can go miles out of your way to discover a closed resteraunt or relocated park entrance.

I have used other books in this series and they never dissappoint. There is far more here than you can do in any one vacation, but I like it for the full overview that you get of the entire state. Don't expect a lot of maps and directions, but do expect some neat "insider" tips and different travel recomendations.
