Voices of Yellowstone's Capstone

by Jonathan Marquis

Many of you already know how the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness stirs the soul, for those lucky enough to experience it. For those that have, and for those that have not yet had the opportunity, the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation is working very hard to publish a distinctive “atlas” to raise awareness about the wealth of, and the risks to, this soul-stirring place.

Many of you already know how the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness stirs the soul, for those lucky enough to experience it. For those that have, and for those that have not yet had the opportunity, the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness Foundation is working very hard to publish a distinctive “atlas” to raise awareness about the wealth of, and the risks to, this soul-stirring place.

This site is intended to give you an idea of what we intend for the final hard copy product.  This will be a visually stunning book that draws you in, piques your curiosity, and ultimately, creates a personal connection between the reader and this landscape.  Thoughtful essays will be paired with maps and images to lay out a narrative story of the A-B Wilderness.
