Amazon.com Review

Aptly nicknamed the Wilderness State, Idaho has more wild land--some 16 million acres--than any other state except Alaska. And what better spot to introduce yourself to the wilds of Idaho than the unparalleled Sawtooth region? Offering trip destinations in the northern Stanley and Salmon River Mountains, the central Sawtooth and White Cloud Mountains, as well as ranges easily accessible from the towns of Ketchum and Sun Valley, this guide opens the door to some of the most unspoiled territory in the Lower 48. Each featured trail description begins with an at-a-glance summary of important data--what the hike is best for (mountain biking, hiking, etc.), length, difficulty, elevation gain, and other essentials. Additional text offers pointers on navigation, warnings about difficult terrain and overused areas, and advice for viewing wildlife, such as sandhill cranes and spawning salmon, along the way. An appendix lists short hikes and bike rides for families vacationing with small children.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good, but dated., July 15, 2002

By	Troy Kase (Pocatello, ID United States) - See all my reviews

This was probably an excellent book when it was first written. The information is getting to be a bit dated. At least half of the hikes we have tried have had some outdated information.

On one hike, the trail was nearly gone after what appeared to be years of no use. It would have been somewhat dangerous for us to continue the hike.

I will probably throw the book away and get a more up to date one.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very dated material, not current with the areas changes., December 26, 2002

By A Customer

This out-of-print book is quite outdated itself. If you stick to the most popular trails and don't venture off of them, you'll be fine, otherwise, prepare for a little adventure yourself. Again, very outdated material.
