5.0 out of 5 stars Book Title is Misleading, only covers Central Idaho, June 4, 2003

By	Debbie Hardy (Valley Springs, CA United States) - See all my reviews

This book title is misleading. What it doesn't say in the title is Volume I:Central Idaho. The book itself is great and really goes into detail, beautiful pictures, nice maps of the highways, but it only covers Central Idaho. So.....if you are looking for a book that covers all of Idaho this is not a good choice.

5.0 out of 5 stars The guide to have for the auto tourist, December 1, 2000

By	mike (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

This is quite simply the most informative, comprehensive, descriptive, and fascinating educational tour guide for the motorist I have ever seen. The subtitle is correct...nearly every mile is documnented in detail discussing the geology, history, and uniqueness of some of the most beautiful scenic by-ways in the nation. It'll have you pulling over to the side of the road at every mile marker. Also included; side trips, dirt roads, more comprehensive sections on popular destinations and a very clear outline of routes and highways one should take to get the most of you journey. Seeing the mountains and rivers of central Idaho with this book in hand was truly a thrill. I came away from this trip not only enriched by the spectacular beauty of the region but more informed about the processes and people that helped shape and form this dramatic region of our country.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great guide, August 11, 2003

By A Customer

Great guide to central Idaho - useful even for people that live here. My husband and I live in Idaho (and have for YEARS). We have used this book on two different vacations. Especially if you like to explore back roads and alternate routes, this is a great book to have around. We even found new places to explore in areas I have been exploring for 20 years. Have fun.
