About Steve

Steve Stuebner has a hearty appetite for outdoor mountain fun. His interests include hiking, biking, whitewater boating, fishing, climbing mountains, camping, skiing, hockey, and most of all, being a Dad.

By day, Steve is a PR account manager for Drake Cooper, one of Idaho’s finest marketing, web and PR agencies. You can read Steve’s work bio here.

In his private life, Steve is president of Boise Front Adventures, Inc., a cottage-industry publishing business. Boise Trail Guide: 75 Hiking & Running Routes Close to Home completes a trilogy of outdoor guidebooks that Steve has published for the greater Boise area since the early 1990s. Steve also wrote and published Paddling the Payette, a guide to 23 day trips in the Payette River Basin, 30 minutes from Boise, and Mountain Biking in Boise, a guide to all of the key trails in the greater Boise Foothills area, Bogus Basin and the Boise River Greenbelt.

Steve also is the author of Mountain Biking Idaho (Falcon Guide) and Mountain Biking in McCall, so he’s spent a ton of time riding diverse trails throughout the great state of Idaho. He also is an authority on Idaho rivers as the author of Salmon River Country and Paddling the Payette.

In his previous life as a professional writer, Steve wrote for a wide variety of newspapers and magazines, including The New York , Outside, Paddler, National Wildlife, The Intelligence Report, Columbia Journalism Review and High Country News.

Steve is the father of two boys, Quinn and Drew. He lives in Boise with his life partner Wendy Wilson. Steve calls Wendy "the Idaho River Queen" because she started Idaho Rivers United from scratch and built it into a very successful river-conservation organization during a decade of awesome public service. She’s also a heck of a whitewater canoeist and kayaker. Wendy has two children, Tommy and Elena.
