Idaho's outfitting industry has always attracted colorful characters, modern-day mountainmen and women, whose job it is to connect city dwellers to the outdoors. We profile some of these individuals and examine some of the challenges they face.

We visit the three new wilderness areas in central Idaho -- the Cecil Andrus-White Clouds, the Hemingway-Boulders, and the Jim McClure-Jerry Peak wilderness -- to tell the 50 year story of how the threat of an open pit molybdenum mine eventually led to a unanimous vote for Wilderness in Congress. And we examine some of the major battles yet to be decided.

We explore some of Idaho's out of the way places at the end of the road: Paradise in the Selway wilderness; Bay View, perched on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille; Big Creek, so remote that an airplane is the best way in; 150 year-old Joyce Ranch on the Owyhee Front; the Mormon ghost town of Chesterfield; Atlanta, where freedom of expression is revered; and Castle Peak, a mountain in wilderness.
