In the Shadow of Crown Mountain

In the early 1970s G. Loomis had the opportunity to assume a Forest Service lease on land in the shadow of Crown Mountain in Montana. As he and his wife, Judy, drove up a rough and narrow two track road to explore the site on the Rocky Mountain Front, their exciting adventure began. In a collection of stories and useful tips inspired by years of keeping diaries, Loomis offers a plethora of information on building a cabin and living off-the-grid, enjoying area wildflowers and wildlife, and activities like hiking, fly fishing & special flies, foraging for berries and mushrooms, and area geology and historical use. In the Shadow of Crown Mountain shares many folksy stories, photographs and illustrations that detail one man's colorful experiences as he embraces all that comes with living on the Montana Front.
