Kyla Merwin, Communication Manager, recommends The Hiker's Guide to Sun Valley & Ketchum by Scott Marchant.
All Decked Out. Now Where Do I Go?
Just another gorgeous day in the Wood River Valley…Yeah baby! Adventure is calling my name, so I’m gearing up:
Boots = ✓
Sunscreen = ✓
Water = ✓
Snacks (lots) = ✓
New Camera = ✓
Three-day Holiday = Check check check!
Now all I need is a place to go. Hmmm. . .Enter the Hiker’s Guide to Sun Valley/Ketchum by Scott Marchant.
Scott has taken the traditional guidebook to a whole new level, with stunning images, topo maps, directions, and massive detail, including his favorite picks, season and family-friendly trails, and local information on flora, fauna, and recent wildfires.
You might think the subject of “etiquette” belongs in the Library’s catalog under Emily Post or Miss Manners, but Scott has included the important rules of wilderness etiquette, as well as advice on personal safety and wilderness conservation. Pinky-extended, elbows-off-the-table, and punctuality NOT included. But you may be interested in his section on – er – waste removal...
