Customer Reviews

This book is packed with great hikes!

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. Being a native Idahoan growing up in Salmon I was surprise at how much information and different hikes Margaret has put into her books. The Frank Church Wilderness and the Bighorn Crags is a must for any avid backpacker. I could loose myself in those mountains (in a good way). The Bighorn Crags have been a favorite of mine since I was 16 when I first explored their trails. Margaret does a great job of getting you into some great country and away from everyone. Don't forget to plan a trip to Airplane and Ship Island Lake then day hike to some of the surrounding lakes. Just wonderful!

A wealth of information

This book provides a wealth of information on the Frank (trails, history, geology, etc.). The organization of the book is useful, although more small scale maps would help orient the reader without running out and getting forest service maps of the wilderness with the book. Still, a great guide.
