  • "It’s hard to imagine the sheer time and effort needed to create a comprehensive guide to southwest Montana’s hiking, biking, and ski trails. Luckily, you won’t ever have to take on such a monolithic task, because Bryan Schaeffer has done it for you."

    Gerald Ligotti, Outside Bozeman Magazine

  • "It seemed fitting to design a modern guide that captures the adventurous, exploratory nature of the place and the people who have inhabited it throughout the ages. The Schaeffer family spent six years (24 seasons) hiking, mountain biking, and skiing in the "Bozone." They explored hundreds of trails, GPS mapped them, and took photographs. The trails they kept returning to have made it into this three-sport book."

    Ella Kuntz for Bozeman City Lifestyle Magazine

  • "Beautifully illustrated. One of my favorite kinds of books because it gets to the point, it gives me the information I want."

    DJ Zepp 105.7 The Eagle Radio Station

  • “Aptly named for the gems it highlights, Bryan Schaeffer's book Discover Montana Treasures is an all-seasons enticement for families to discover the beauty and wonder of Bozeman and beyond.”

    Julie Kleine, Montana Parent Magazine
