Sprawling 150 miles across northern Idaho and northwestern Montana, the Cabinet Mountains are one of the little-known frontal ranges of the Rocky Mountains. Formed of ancient sedimentary rock and sculpted by massive glaciers during the Ice Age, the Cabinets hold inspiring peaks, breathtaking alpine lakes, unspoiled old-growth forests and rare wildlife. Now writer and inveterate hiker Dennis Nichols has penned the first-ever hiking and biking guide to the trails of this magnificent range. 
Designed to be an indispensable guide for hikers of all abilities, and including an appendix identifying trails suitable for mountain bikers, "Trails of the Wild Cabinets" includes detailed descriptions for 82 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 forest, lookouts and peaks. 
The book is organized in three sections to help readers more easily place the dozens of trails covered. The first section of the book is devoted to the trails of the Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, the 35-mile-long wilderness area established in 1964. The second section covers trails in the western, mostly Idaho, portion of the range – closest to Sandpoint – while the third section details trails of the southern range that stretches west of Montana’s Flathead Lake. 
Nicholls also provides an absorbing natural history for the range, along with several essays drawn from his own adventures wandering the Cabinets. Whether you’re a visitor to the region or long-time resident, "Trails of the Wild Cabinets" will help you explore and appreciate these little-known but truly beautiful wildlands.

The Selkirk Mountains stretch across a wide swath of the Inland Northwest. They host a stunning variety of landscapes, from lush temperate rain forests to dry ponderosa pine stands to the naked granite of the high peaks. The Selkirks extend far north into Canada, but Washington and Idaho hold one-third of the range plus an expansive, little-heralded trail system. This is the most comprehensive guide ever produced for the southern Selkirks, with descriptions for more than 170 trails plus charts, maps and photos to help hikers of all abilities easily find terrific trails – and make their own discoveries in the beautiful, wild Selkirks.
