Building on his first book, Trails of the Wild Cabinets, author Dennis Nicholls now presents Trails of the Wild Selkirks: South of the Canadian Border, exploring the spectacular range that spans northeastern Washington and northern Idaho, stretching far into Canada. This book focuses on the American portion of the range, an area that holds a fantastic variety of landscapes from lush rain forests to dry grasslands to the cirques and granite of its high peaks. These wonderful wildlands also remain home to wildlife found almost nowhere else in the lower United States, including grizzly, woodland caribou, lynx and wolves. Nicholls provides an absorbing natural history for the range, along with several essays drawn from his own adventures wandering the Selkirks. Whether you’re a Sandpoint visitor or long-time resident, Trails of the Wild Selkirks will help you explore and appreciate Sandpoint’s back-door wildlands.

Legendary Lake Pend Oreille
Author: Jane Fritz and Friends
Price: $24.00

Sprawling 43 miles long with 111 miles of shoreline, Idaho’s largest natural lake is truly awe-inspiring. At more than 1,100 feet deep, it’s the fifth-deepest lake in the nation. During the last ice age, it was the nexus of the most cataclysmic floods ever to scour the planet. For the native Kalispel Indians, it was the cradle of creation. It was the site of the first trading post in Idaho, built in 1809 by voyageur David Thompson. The lake has also yielded the world-record Kamloops trout. Add the lake’s spectacular setting amid three major ranges of the Rocky Mountains, and it’s no wonder Lake Pend Oreille inspires such awe. This book captures the lake’s incredible features and includes comprehensive guides.
