absolutely fantastic guide book!

having just returned home from five weeks of exploring central idaho hot springs with this guidebook all i can say is get ready for one of the most beautiful experiences of your life if you follow any of the trails to springs in this region.being fiarly adept at finding hot springs on my own i know that i could easily have missed several true gems without this book.a must have if you are travelling in the northwest and need a place to soak those road weary bones! i found all the road & trail descriptions to be right-on for getting to some pretty isolated spots. this,without question,has proven to be one of the best books for a hot spring & hiking junkie(that would be me)that i`ve ever encountered! buy the book!go enjoy!thanks evie!

THE Essential Hike & Hotspring Guide for the Pac/NW

A finely crafted and up to date little hotspring book from a professional writer that has done all of her own research, hiking to the best wild hotsprings in the Pacific Northwest. Unlike some others who curiously omit or give lesser coverage to Idaho (which the cognescenti know has the greatest concentration of wild hot springs in North America), Evie Litton shows her bonafides. From shorter day hikes through Ancient cedars and Grand Fir out to riverside hot waterfalls and steaming turquoise pools to adventurous multi-day backpacking tours into the deep interior, Evie L always trail loops you past a great hotspring. Well deserved soaks, with ready highway access to trailheads, for road foot travelers, horse riders and even weary cross-country motorists with a half-day to invest, amid stunning scenery, where the people are plainly visiting and the real residents are moose, elk, deer, mountain goat, eagle, beaver, otter, cougar and bear. This book features good driving directions AND even map coordinates (!) - right down to the actual USGS topo's and US Forest Service sectionals AND where to obtain them. None of the other books are as "right and tight" in getting you in and out as this one. This one is a Guide from a guide. It belongs in your bag, so grab your shoes and pack a lunch. I'll be the guy coming down the trail with the big smile on his face and good directions to hotter water.
