The Gem State has one of the most varied landscapes in the United States. More than forty-two of its mountains exceed ten thousand feet, yet it is the home Hells Canyon, the deepest canyon in North America. With some sixteen miles of rivers and streams as well as countless lakes, Idaho has a seemingly inexhaustible supply of beautiful scenery. Idaho: Portrait of a State features more than one hundred exquisite photographs that capture its rugged and unspoiled splendor, from the wide-open sagebrush plains of the Snake River in southern Idaho, to the serrated peaks of central Idaho, to the emerald green forests of the northern panhandle.
