After a backpacking trip to Glacier National Park, I passed through the Yaak Valley. I was intrigued\\xa0by the beauty of the valley. It just felt different than most other places I had visited.\\xa0
Shortly after my short visit to the Yaak Valley, I discovered a book called The Book of Yaak by Rick Bass. I began devouring Rick Bass\' books, and I returned to the Yaak.\\xa0
Over the years, I hiked many miles and spent many nights in the Yaak Valley. And read many Rick Bass books. Rick used his words to bring awareness to the Yaak Valley and the issues this unique place in Montana faced.\\xa0
