HIKING THE ANACONDA PINTLER WILDERNESS-,
By jason petit (us) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hiking the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness (Paperback)
Being a hiker and nature lover, I found this title one of the best hiking guide books so far. The author convinced me to try the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness, his detailed description of trails in this wilderness is a first. It ties in well with another book, "The Pintlers, Majestic They Stand", both of history and mountain adventures in the Anaconda Pintler Wilderness over a century ago.

4.0 out of 5 stars
come visit this gorgeous land,
By Grandma Mackey (Big Timber, MT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Hiking the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness (Paperback)
Mr. Arkava's sense of Montana is overwhelming - like he spent all his life here. As a home-dweller in Montana for 43 years, I can tell you that the moon shines loud, the animals sing to you at night, and the sun beats hard in the summer and retreats mightily in the winter. There is also the gaze of the old mountains on young hearts (yes, even though my face is full of wrinkles, I still have a very young heart which beats faster with each word I write) and the majestic views of a still young land from the peak. I admit the Anaconda-Pintler Wilderness is even more beautiful than my hometown of Big Timber. I sent this book to three of my four kids to remind them how beautiful this place is (my eldest child, Barbara, still loves her mother and hasn't moved away even though HER three kids have long left).
