Idaho's Scenic Highways: A Mile-By-Mile Road Guide

Rating:
Summary: best book covering travel in Idaho
Review: Admittedly, there are sections of Idaho which are not covered, and I wish Rivers and Plummer would come out with volumes covering the rest of the state. With its mile-by-mile notes of most of Idaho, this is the most comprehensive guide I've found to this state. It's great for finding out-of-the way places to camp and enjoy. I always look here first when planning a trip in our great state.

Idaho Scenic Byways Committee reviewer: "the most comprehensive guide to Idaho's highways and byways... . The anecdotes throughout the book make this guidebook all the more appealing to read. ... The amount of detail for each of the highways and roads/trails off the main highways is quite helpful for hikers, bikers, campers, or any outdoor adventurer."

Summary: Great guide
Review: 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.

Summary: The guide to have for the auto tourist
Review: 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.
