Here's the website for the trailhead\campground (no fees for backpackers).
I think the best resource for hiking the area is a book by someone named Margaret Fuller. It provides in-depth info regarding the trails and destinations, as well as some great ideas for the different loops you can do.
Pretty good resources:

It's not just bears you have to worry about. You also don't want little critters chewing through your expensive gear to get at interesting-smelling stuff. It's always a good idea to hang food, toothpaste, etc:

If a gun gives you peace of mind, by all means take it. However, it's definitely not a necessity and I've never seen a backpacker carrying a gun in Idaho.
Good luck!
