Very few places on earth match the unbridled beauty of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, nearly a million acres of high-elevation splendor, about a thousand lakes, Montana's tallest peaks, nearly 300 miles of trails, and hundreds more miles of off-trail routes. Most of the range is granite, three billion years old. Bill Schneider, Falcon publisher and author of Hiking the Beartooths, calls this wilderness a "masterpiece of the National Forest System" and "an angler's paradise." Arctic grayling and several varieties of trout are found in the lakes and streams there. On one trail called The Beaten Path (not nearly as crowded as it sounds) , the reader is advised of looming distractions-too many trout, too many great views, too many fields of juicy berries. Hiking the Beartooths, formerly The Trail Guide to the Beartooths, is the only comprehensive sourcebook for exploring this spectacular backcountry. Detailed maps, elevation charts, up-to-date fishing information, and tips on no-trace camping and wilderness safety, including bear precautions, make this required reading for your next vacation in "nature's penthouse." Put it in your pack, in a place where you can refer to it easily and often.
