This review is from: Salmon River Country (Hardcover)

Flowing through the largest wilderness region in the lower 48 states, Idaho's Salmon River courses through an area almost the size of the state of Ohio. This region popularly called the "Salmon River Country" is pretty much the same as it was 200 years ago when Lewis and Clark explored the river's headwaters. Now photographer Mark Lisk has showcased the wild beauty of the river and some of the hardy people who live and work along this spectacular waterway in Salmon River Country. Enhanced with an informed and informative wilderness essay by Stephen Stuebner, Salmon River Country's more than 100 superbly presented full color photographs make paging through this coffeetable book a true and highly recommended treat for the armchair traveler and an inspiration for anyone to make their own excursion along one of the loveliest wilderness rivers America has to offer.

This was a gift to my Uncle who took my children on a white water rafting trip down through the breathtaking Salmon River Country - an awesome experience. The book will help keep those memories alive and the wonderful experience they shared. I wanted something special and this book was the best I could find. I was not disappointed.
