This is a must for every Central Idaho hiker, cross country skier, and mountain biker's shelf or backpack. After several yeas of wishing that the old guides would be reprinted, updated and improved, someone else has come along with a better mouset rap - a current, multi-use book for all seasons. Peak's Trail Book is current, with the best trail maps and directions this region has to offer. Almost 100 hikes with trailheads within an hour's drive of Ketchum are included - and every one has been hiked within the past eight months. Photographs of terrain (lakes, streams, ridges, etc.) illustrate the environment and expedite decisions on where to go. Unique separate sections on trails for mountain bikes and trails for skiing are included; every trail is assigned a recommended use code. The guide is packaged in a handsome zippered waterproof binder. A plastic slipcase invites you to remove the section on a particular trail and carry it with you. The publisher includes a return mailing card for users who would like to receive future trail additions and updates. This book sets a new standard for multi-use trail guides.
