Summary of Backpacking Idaho: From Alpine Peaks to Desert Canyons (Backpacking)

In the craggy Selkirk Mountains you'll find lush forests, small cirque lakes, and jagged granite peaks. Watch for ospreys, river otters, and belted kingfishers in the swift Selway River. Explore hundreds of miles of trails in the gently rolling forested hills in north-central Idaho, or head to Hell's Canyon, the deepest gorge in North America, where you'll find both alpine tundra and cactus-studded desert.

--24 trips, varying in length from three days to two weeks
--Distance, length, elevation gain, and shuttle mileage for each trip
--The best places to see premier scenery, find solitude, or challenge your strength and endurance
--Special attractions and problems you might encounter, plus helpful tips and warnings
