Fly Idaho!: A Guide to Adventure in the Idaho Backcountry

History

Q.E.I. Publishing

A treasure trove of backcountry airstrips in what may be the last aviation frontier of the American West. Exploration and discovery is what Fly Utah! is all about. Don't expect paved foot trails with cutesy little informational signs here. Be the first to explore ancient Anasazi cliff dwellings or squeeze through a thousand-feet-deep, 2-foot-wide slot canyon. Eat a mutton burger and share a sandstone cave with a Fundamentalist LDS Saint (along with his 4 wives and 38 children). Search for the lost gold mines of the Spanish Conquistadors and trade at an authentic Indian trading post - far off the beaten tourist path. Airstrips range from a challenging 500' overgrown strip clinging to a sandstone cliff to an exquisite 1900' long, thin-air mountain strip at 9200' elevation with several mild-mannered ones (and even a couple paved strips) mixed in for variety. Lots of primitive airplane camping and a few top-notch lodges and resorts. 950 pages, 83 airstrips (57 of which are previously uncharted) This is a two-volume edition that includes a slip case for bookshelf convenience. Each airstrip includes a two-page foldout.

Fly Utah!

Galen L. Hanselma

First published in 1998, "Fly Idaho" introduced the world to backcountry flying and airplane camping. Now, twenty years later, Idaho is recognized as the premier destination for backcountry pilots. Author Galen Hanselman's basic premise is, "Pilots need good information to make good decisions." To that end, he has meticulously measured, surveyed, and described 83 marvelous unpaved, unspoiled, unforgettable airstrips. Many of the airstrips in this guide have never been documented; many are within the boundaries of wilderness areas where the only access is by pack train, whitewater raft, or airplane. Hanselman has a way of intertwining engineering precision with carefully researched destination descriptions, all tied together with folksy stories of Indian battles, Chinese immigrants, miners, cowboys, fallen angels, and an assortment of derelicts and heroes. His pioneering work is a gateway for exploration and discovery into an area as wild and untamed as it was a hundred years ago. Published in 2015, the 3rd edition has evolved into a two-volume, 946-page destination guide and is a popular topic of conversation around pilot campfires. Galen L. Hanselman
