"What should we do this weekend?"
Whether you live in Montana or are just passing through,
Great Montana Weekends
offers up some essential ideas about how best to spend your time in the Treasure State. You could think about skiing at Big Sky for a couple hundred dollars a day, but what about cross-country skiing on a closed forest service road for free? There's fly-fishing the Yellowstone, sure, but what about trying to snag a paddlefish outside of Glendive? You could always take the kids to a movie, but what about riding the carousel in Helena instead?
This is a different kind of guidebook. Rather than giving you websites and hours of operation, maybe some mileages,
provides possibilities and context, the cultural and social and historical background for what's possible in the coming weekend.
Arranged by season,
is illustrated with more than 300 photos, as well as a generous helping of tips, tricks, quotes, and snippets of advice. Built on the authors' forty-plus years in Montana, this isn't the only guidebook you'll ever need, but it may very well be the one you return to the most.
