This review is from: Hike Lewis and Clark's Idaho (Lewis & Clark Expedition) (Paperback)

We bought the book for a hiking vacation coming up, so we haven't used it yet, but we've used hiking books many times, and I feel this one will be a big help. Be aware that it covers a specific area of Idaho - Route 12 - so you'll want another book if you plan to be elsewhere. Forty-four hikes are described in detail, with directions to each. There are good maps for each hike, a graph of elevation gain and distance, and description of difficulty. The book includes a history of the trails and of the area, and also sections on geology, necessary equipment, and possible dangers to be aware of.
