Margaret Fuller is the author or co-author of five Idaho hiking guidebooks and three books of natural history. Trails of the Sawtooth and White Cloud Mountains, first published in 1979, was the first comprehensive guidebook to any of Idaho's trails. The book was a seven year long family project for Margaret, her husband Wayne, and their five children. When the book came out it caused controversy because it gave away how to get to places some Idahoans liked to keep secret. Since then the book has been revised and updated three times and has increased in size from 73 to 105 hikes. Her other guidebooks, all in their second or third editions, have been expanded as well. Margaret has hiked more than 5,800 miles on Idaho trails and has given 240 slide shows on the mountains of Idaho. She lives in Weiser and writes full time.
