Crown of the Continent: The Wildest Rockies

This book contains some of the best landscape and nature photography I have ever seen. Extremely well printed and bound, it shows a part of the country that few people ever see. The accompanying text is interesting and informative, but the photography alone is worth the investment. Tack sharp, artistic in composition, and rich with color, these photos transport you to places few ever reach.Usually I find books like this have, at best, 50% 5 star photos. I have yet to find two images that I don't consider 5 star quality in Crown of the Continent.My one unfulfilled wish is that there was an accompanying "how to" book.

I am so proud to have a grandson with the talent and fortitude to venture out in the true wilderness and capture the unique pictures that he has bundled into a thriller book. Steven's pictures give me a sense of being right out there with him, taking in all the beauty and awe. If you wish to impress someone with a gift, I suggest this book is perfect. Once opened, it is hard to put down.

The photography is awesome to say the least. I do love Steven's assertion that none of the photos were taken from a planeas it would certainly fool me, but then you must consider this is from the prospective of a former teacher of mountainclimbing. The photos include some species I was not familiar with and you can certainly add to your geographic knowledgeof a vast part of the Rockies.

Sitting down and looking through a book is a rarity these days. If you long for the days when you can relax, have a cup of tea, and imagine you are elsewhere, then I highly recommend this book. The pictures are glorious (page 88) is my favorite!I've been to the Rockies and these pictures take me there. I see them! I feel them! I smell them! I hear them!

The number of good reviews on this book saw me purchase it. I was extremely disappointed with both the quality of the printing (poor clarity) and subject material. This is a book mostly about wildlife and the landscape shots in the book do not do justice to a beautiful national park. Admittedly there are a few nice shots in the book but I would not recommend it to folk who are looking for a spectacular book on Glacier NP which showcases incredible scenery as not one of the scenes had me saying, wow!

A bit self-admiring on the part of the author. Pleasant journeys captured with photography and words.

This is a gorgeous book. I have given several as gifts and am delighted to have received one myself on my last birthday.

It was a Christmas gift for my husband who had hiked the Colorado Trail. He loved it, said the photos were gorgeous!
