"That delicious combination of knowledge and mystery can be found in abundance in the pages of this atlas-a feast of personal stories and geology, history and topography and biological delights.  This is to me a work of inspired revelry-a fetching celebration of one of the greatest out backs on Earth.  Sit back for a time and let these pages carry you aloft.  And when your heart and imagination are replenished, pause to give thanks to the men and women of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation: brilliant, big-hearted people, working long and hard to assure that the priceless gifts of this wild sanctuary will continue to flow for generations to come." -- Gary Ferguson
