If you could trace the topography of the Teton and Washakie Wilderness Areas on a screen, the ups and downs would look like the pulse of one excited person. Deep drainages dissect rugged volcanic mountains; mesas, pinnacles, and buttes rise high above shaded forests; and lofty passes link valleys full of crystal-clear streams. Join authors Lee Mercer and Ralph Maughan on a guided tour of a vast, virtually undiscovered territory just south of well-traveled Yellowstone National Park and begin your obsession with one of America's most pristine tracts of land. Hiking Wyoming's Teton and Washakie Wilderness Areas brings stunning photos, challenging hikes, and a mother lode of information on scenic and secluded trails to your fingertips. With advice on backcountry safety, camping, and routefinding, as well as up-to-date maps and elevation profiles, this guide is an indispensable aid for the novice and veteran backpacker alike and a support system for those sick of cars and crowds.

5.0 out of 5 stars
The last true wilderness adventure in the lower 48 states.,
By Karla Kolb (Boise, Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hiking Wyoming's Teton & Washakie Wilderness Areas (Paperback)
This is more than a guidebook; it is an enticing narrative into a remote and spectacular wilderness land. Lee Mercer and Ralph Maughan lead you into the untraveled nooks and crannies of the Yellowstone Ecosystem with grace and respect for this most magnificant of landscapes. This is the best written, most informative, and most readable guidebook I've ever encountered. The photo quality makes the reader salivate for a chance to encounter this spectacular wilderness land in the first person. This book has something for everyone---from short day hikes to two week backpacking trips. Tips and suggstions abound, as the authors describe river crossings, grizzly country etiquette, trip planning, and off-trail segments in painstaking detail. The hikes in this guide book offers both the experienced and novice backcountry adventurer everything they've ever dreamed of, without the crowds found in Grand Teton National Park, Glacier, or the Wind Rivers. Once you start reading this, your first response is: I want to go hiking here! I read the book from cover to cover, and that is something I've never experienced before with any other guide book. This is a "must have" guide book to the last great place in the lower 48 states---big, rugged, wild,and utterly spectacular. Best of all, your solitude is assured. Buy a copy of this book, and prepare to be amazed!

This review is from: Hiking Wyoming's Teton & Washakie Wilderness Areas (Paperback)
This book helped me select the route to use on my wife's and my 5 night backpacking trip in the Teton Wilderness. We did not carry the book with us, as we had all the weight we could handle without it.
