The US specialist (01703 30332) has introduced seven-night holidays staying at the Absaroka Mountain Ranch in Gun Barrel Canyon.

Two of the three original packs have set up a permanent territory in the park, but one rogue pack has ventured out of the park boundaries to the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness.

The promotion will benefit the Country Living Forest in Montana's Absaroka Wilderness, which is part of Yellowstone National Park.

One newly burned area is the wettest spot in the park, the Absaroka Crest, which normally receives 80 to 100 inches of precipitation a year.

The outfit is owned and operated by Warren Johnson, an outfitter who has spent is entire life hunting and guiding in the Absaroka Wilderness area, just north of the Yellowstone National Park boundary, where he is licensed to run his camp.

Five of them in all, from the red rock of southern Utah to the foothills of Wyoming's Absaroka Range; from the granite domes of central Idaho to the Beartooths of south-central Montana, to a certain high valley in northeast Yellowstone.

In 1939, pieces of South Dakota, Montana, and Wyoming pushed to form Absaroka (named for a nearby mountain range).

As the Crow Flies A Walk Longmire Mystery | CRAIG JOHNSON: Craig Johnson, former New York beat cop, reprises Walt Longmire, the popular sheriff of Absaroka County, Wyoming, in this eighth installment in the series.

Stan estimates the number as "in the bazillions," which might be a little high, but still, if they were piled up, there would be smaller mountains in the Absaroka Range--and you folks got most of 'em!

Horseback transect index--In 1947, 1948, and 1949, Montana Fish and Game Biologist Joe Gaab looked for moose each September in the Absaroka Primitive Area (now the Absaroka Beartooth Wilderness) on about 177 km of trail.

The grizzly stands in the path of Chevron, which wants to sink oil wells in the Rocky Mountain Front (as the geologists call it), east of Glacier Park; in the path of Plum Creek Timber, which wants to log off the remaining 6 million acres of wild forest in the Northern Rockies; in the path of the Canadian-owned Noranda Gold, which wants to mine in the Absaroka Range on the border of Yellowstone Park.

I tried it recently while hunting with Warren Johnson's "Hell's A' Roarin'" outfitters in the Absaroka wilderness in southern Montana.
