| "This is a beautiful coffee table book. Tons of beautiful pictures taken along Going To The Sun Road. There is also amazing information on how the road was built which is amazing given the difficult terrain and the era in which it was built. I have traveled this road in northwestern Montana and the book serves as a preservation of great memories of that trip."
-L. Clark, amazon.com review "I love this book - have been giving it as presents to family and friends. All the details of the story make the building of the "Going to the Sun Road" really come alive. I first purchased it thinking it would be a small "coffee table book" and a help to the trip we were planning to make to Glacier National Park (great trip, by the way) - but the book is so much more than I expected. It is a "can't put it down" story as well as a great source of facts and historic information. Highly recommended."
