Why Idaho hands a vehicle more forest road than almost any other state

Idaho is 61.9 percent federal land. The Congressional Research Service counts 32.8 million federal acres inside a state of 52.9 million, a share beaten only by Nevada and Utah. Most of that ground is forest rather than desert: the Forest Service holds 20,451,561 acres here, and only Alaska and California hold more. The Bureau of Land Management holds another 11,768,027, which it rounds on its own pages to nearly 12 million acres, nearly one fourth of the state.
