Description
11. Adventures in Idaho's Sawtooth Country 96 (12.95) [0898861926]
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.
