"Author Tony Huegel has produced some of the best guides that we've ever seen for those who really want to get away with the whole family. (Byways guides) all offer concise directions, clear maps and excellent advice on how to get the most out of your off-road adventure." -- Maryland Public Television's MotorWeek
About the Author
Travel writer Tony Huegel began introducing America to the concept of backcountry touring in 1993, when he launched his innovative "Byways" series of adventure driving guidebooks. He and his family had discovered that, thanks to their 4wd sport-utility vehicle, they could explore western wildlands and remote historic sites comfortably, conveniently and safely anytime. After growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area and earning a bachelor's degree in journalism at U.C. Berkeley, Tony worked as a reporter and photographer for newspapers in Wyoming, California and Idaho. His SUV-oriented backcountry adventure articles now appear regularly in Road & Track magazine's new spinoff, Open Road, as well as 4Wheel Drive & Sport Utility magazine. He and his family have lived in Idaho since 1985. It was in Idaho, a state noted for its vast, unspoiled expanses of publicly owned wildlands, that he and his family discovered that backpacks and blisters were unnecessary to enjoy wild and remote places of great natural beauty. In almost any stock SUV, they could easily explore backroads and 4x4 routes through some of the most spectacular landscapes in the West by day, and relax poolside by night. Tony is now the leading chronicler of the American West's best adventure roads, and you can join him in his travels with your own copy of a "Byways" adventure guide!

A good guide to Idaho's scenic unpaved backroads.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Idaho Byways: Backcountry drives for the whole family (Backcountry Byways) (Spiral-bound)
I find Idaho Byways to be a useful and handy guide to exploring Idaho's spectacular mountain and desert roads. The routes chosen are ideal for anyone in a sport-utility vehicle. No serious four-wheeling, just lots of backcountry scenery as well as historic sites off the beaten track.
