Trails of the Wild Cabinets

Trails of the Wild Cabinets is a hiker's and biker's bible for the Cabinet Mountains, the magnificent mountain range stretching from north of Sandpoint, Idaho, 150 miles southeast into Montana. Revised by inveterate hiker Jim Mellen, the second edition has more hikes and corrections and changes to trails. This indispensable guide for hikers also also includes an appendix identifying trails suitable for mountain bikers. The book has detailed descriptions for 85 trails, numerous maps and photos, and a features chart to help readers more easily find trails with major points of interest, such as lakes, waterfalls, old-growth forests, lookouts and peaks. The second edition also includes GPS coordinates for each trailhead, as well indexes by trail name and number, gear and Leave No Trace ethics. Author Dennis Nicholls also provides a sketch of the range's human and natural history, and he livens up the text with essays drawn from his own hikes into the Cabinets.
