This unique statewide collection of aerial photographs provides sweeping overviews of one of America’s most beautiful and inaccessible regions. Viewed from the air, new…
Wind River Country, Hidden Heart of Wyoming is a 176 page book containing hundreds of color pictures by Claude Poulet, the award winning French photographer who fell in love with this country and has spent much of his time here for the last 25 years and lengthy text by Bayard Fox, owner of the Bitterroot…
