Very few places on earth match the unbridled beauty of the Absaroka-Beartooth Wilderness, nearly a million acres of high-elevation splendor, about a thousand lakes, Montana's tllest peaks, nearly 300 miles of trails, and hundreds more miles of off-trail routes. Most of the range is granite, three billion years old. Bill Schneider, Falcon publisher and author of "Hiking the Beartooths, " calls this wilderness a "masteriece of the National Forest system" and "an angler's paradise." Arctic grayling and several varieties of trout are found in the lakes and streams there. On one trail called The Beaten Path (not nealy as crowded as it sounds), the reader is advised of looming diatractions--too many trout, too many great views, too many fields of juicy berries.
