Idaho Wild and Beautiful
By Steve Bly and Leland Howard.
Gathered in this volume are some of the most spectacular landscape photographs of Idaho, showing respectively the photographers' skills with a camera and their love for the Gem State.
Come along to enjoy Idaho outdoors--town and country, farmstead and wilderness, mountaintop and whitewater river.
The photographers:
Steve Bly of Boise and Leland Howard of Shelley are professional photographers and guides for this stunning trip to all corners (and heights, and depths) of what Bly calls the "dusty and green, plunging and climbing 83,557 square miles" of Idaho. Here is the Gem State from the Snake River Valley to the top of Borah Peak.
As professional photographers, each has amassed thousands of color images of his home state, and only the best were chosen for this volume.
This collection is a tribute to the artistry of Bly and Howard, as well as their tribute to the place they call home. As Howard explains: "If you photograph what you care about, it will show in your images."
124 color photographs.
120 pages, 10 1/2" x 12".

Along Montana and Idaho's
Continental Divide Trail
Text by Lynna Howard
Photography by Leland Howard
Nearly 1,000 miles of rugged scenery along the Continental Divide Trail link Yellowstone National Park to the border of Canada--and the story of that trek is exhilarating. Leland Howard's photographic tribute to this beautiful part of the Continental Divide, combined with Lynna Howard's reflective and insightful account of their experiences along the trail itself, lead the reader into parts of the country that remain for the most part wild and unexplored. "On the Continental Divide, summer is a chimera whose light hand quickly releases its hold," Lynna writes. "It is this fleeting beauty, the changeable nature of the land and the weather, and the threat of danger behind it, that defines Idaho and Montana's Continental Divide National Scenic Trail."
