Select Peaks of Greater Yellowstone: A Mountaineering History & Guide by Thomas Turiano

OVERVIEW

The long-awaited revision of Select Peaks of Greater Yellowstone is finally here! It is a complete guide to the human/natural history, standard ascent routes, and ski descent routes on 107 peaks in the Greater Yellowstone region. Compared with the original 2003 edition, it is completely rewritten, revised, and expanded, with new historical information and route descriptions. It includes twenty “Deeper Dives” into engrossing subjects like the first ascents of the Grand Teton, Fremont Peak, and Teewinot Mountain; and the history of exploration in the Beartooth Mountains and North Absaroka. 640 color photographs and illustrations, many of which are brand new, illustrate with clear graphic detail the history and climbing/skiing routes on the peaks. 16 color maps, all of which are completely new, give the reader overviews of Greater Yellowstone and each of the featured ranges.

If you never read the first edition, a life-changing adventure awaits in the second edition as you embark into its pages. If you already own and enjoy the first edition, either version of the second edition will renew and further pique your interest in Greater Yellowstone’s peaks and history.
