Field Guide to Food & Survival Plants Along Idaho's Centennial Trail - Paperback

by Ray Vizgirdas (Author)

A Field Guide to Food & Survival Plants along Idaho's Centennial Trail was developed to introduce hikers to the abundance of wild and native plants foods along this almost 1,000-mile long trail in Idaho. For those unfamiliar with the Idaho Centennial Trail (ICT), it is a trail that starts at Murphy Hot Springs on the Idaho-Nevada border and proceeds north through the Sawtooth, Frank Church-River of No Return and the Selway-Bitterroot wilderness areas, along the Idaho/Montana border within the Bitterroot Range, and ends at the Canadian border north of Priest Lake in the Idaho Panhandle. Along the way you travel through sagebrush steppe, mountain and subalpine forests, and alpine environments. In short, a diversity of habitats and in many cases, in truly remote backcountry conditions.
