4.0 out of 5 stars
Good reference, but lacks editorial comment,
By Jerry Schneider (Idaho Falls, Idaho) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Trails of eastern Idaho (Paperback)
I find this book very helpful in locating trails. It has good descriptions of how to locate trailheads, including milage and Forest Service road numbers, but it lacks important comment about scenery and how one area compares to another. Also I would like to know the condition of the trails. Are they used by those repulsive four wheelers? Is this area a non-motorized use area or not? But other than that the descriptions of trails if very informative.

Great book to discover those hidden spots in Eastern Idaho!,
This review is from: Trails of Eastern Idaho (Paperback)
Margaret Fuller is an exceptional writer that combines how to get to some of the best locations in Idaho with a little history of the areas you might explore. I own all of her guidebooks and would recommend them to anyone. One of my favorite pieces of information that she includes is how long a hike will take which makes it nice since I can plan better. This book surprised me with some of the hikes found within. I grew up in Salmon and spent my summers hiking the mountains nearby yet Margaret had some hikes into areas I hadn't explored before which comes to show you that it takes a lifetime or more to discover all of Idaho's secrets. Pick up the book and find some great places that not many know about. I would recommend some hikes into the Lemhi Range for starters.

The best book for hiking eastern Idaho - Hands Down,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Trails of Eastern Idaho (Paperback)
I moved to eastern Idaho so that I could hike the mountains. Being 90 minutes from sites ranging from Yellowstone and Teton National Parks, to Jackson Hole, WY and Palisades Lakes, I needed a place to start. Jerry Painter is THE NAME in east Idaho hiking. This book will point you in the right direction for everything ranging from beginner day hikes, to strenuous backpack treks with incredible views (just finished one this week across the Big Hole Mountains). There is no better guide available.
