Book Reviews

Steve helps us discover the diverse splendor of the Boise Valley trails. This book will inspire runners, walkers and hikers to break away from their routine routes and find new trails to explore.
- Gregg Mizuta, Bandanna Running and Walking

A running coach once said, "If the hill has its own name, then it's probably a pretty tough hill." In short, it has its own personality. Steve has brought that to life with the new Boise Trail Guide. A must-have for the running/walking/hiking enthusiast.
- Mike "Shu" Shuman, Idaho Running Company

The Boise Trail Guide is a very comprehensive guide to all of the best trails in the greater Boise area. It's got all the details you need to get out there and have a great hiking or trail-running experience. Have fun!
