Annotation. Adventure Guides are the perfect travel companion for the modern explorer. Whether you're looking to backpack around your home state or boost the number of stamps in your passport by traveling overseas, these books will heighten your travel experience. Our team of knowledgeable authors offers comprehensive introductions that cover history, geography, climate, when to go, transportation, planning and culture. Region-by-region, the books then delve into the heart of the area, with driving tours and side trips to the best museums, historic sites and shops. But the focus is on activities, and you'll learn about the best spots for diving, snorkeling, horseback riding, hiking, biking, rock climbing and more. Extensive listings of recommended tour operators, too. Select places to stay and eat, as well as regional festivals and celebrations. Few places approach the grandeur of Idaho's natural areas. Soaring peaks, deep azure lakes, fanciful rock formations, thick forests and fast-flowing waterways fill the River of No Return/Frank Church Wilderness Area and the Boise, Caribou, Challis, Clearwater, Nez Perce, Bitterroot, Payette, Salmon, Sawtooth, Targhee and Panhandle national forests. Comprehensive coverage of ski areas, gold-panning trips and kids' activities.
