Designed to help you, the traveller, throughout your journeys in the spectacular state of Montana. The book is composed of detailed and extensive information concerning restaurants, motels, gas... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I just bought five books including this one on traveling in Montana. I almost didn't buy this one because of the price. That would have been a huge mistake. Not only do you get what you pay for with this, it's worth twice the price. This is the only book that gave me a complete selection of motels and places to stay. The way they organized the routes and indicated directly on the maps where everything is located is a huge help. We can pick our place to stay and plan where we are going to eat before we even get there. This is also the only book that tells us not only where gas stops are, but what they have for services. And marking the attractions directly on the map with numbers is a great way to see just where things are. I like the discounts too. Seems like we should get our money back in a couple of days. I'm not crazy about having to present the book for the discounts, but hey, nothings perfect. I thought this was close enough to give it the highest rating after comparing it to everything else available. And hey, if you like pictures, there are hundreds of them in here. Anyone planning a trip to Montana would be just plain stupid to not get a copy of this.
The best of the bunch

I have purchased 11 books to plan my trip to Montana. I do not wish to write reviews on all of them, but felt compelled to comment on this one. It is far and away the best book I have found for planning a driving trip through the state. It listed 3-4 times as many motels (apparantly all of them)as any other book. The same is true for places to eat. It listed every gas stop. None of the other books listed any. Its maps are much more thorough, and they have maps of small towns as well as the big ones. The quick reference charts are priceless, and it is the only book to offer discounts from the states merchants. A truly priceless book, and I highly recommend it to anyone even thinking of going to Montana.
Don't leave home without it!

I have purchased several books on Montana to plan our Lewis and Clark trip. I can recommend without reservation this book. The publisher should print in large letters on the cover: "Don't leave home without it!" I guarantee anyone traveling without this book will spend too much money on their trip! This is the only complete source I have found for planning our overnight, dining, and gas stops on our trip. I only wish there was a book like this for the other states we have to travel through.
Outstanding!! Thorough!! Beats Milepost by a mile!!

This is the most thorough, comprehensive travel guide I have seen for any state. The detail of the information was beyond my expections. Who needs a travel agent with this book? Easy to read, easy to use. The Quick Reference guides to dining, lodging, and auto are invaluable. This should be a required purchase for anyone even thinking about traveling to Montana. It saves you a countless hours in planning your trip, and the discounts will not only pay you back, but put money in your pocket the first day in the state. Truely exceptional. They should do this for every state!
