March 17, 2024: I heard today from Ray Jacquot that it was he who took the picture of Don Ryan on page 115. The picture was taken on the north face of the Grand Teton during their ascent in 1965. Jacquot mentioned that he gave Don two 5x7" prints of pictures he had taken that summer. The other ...

Shortly after the second edition went to print, I learned from my friend Alex Lennon about a sneaky route on the east face of Eagle Peak that he just had climbed that bypasses the crux cliff band along the otherwise more direct, but more technically difficult northeast ridge. When Forrest McCarthy, ...

On page 196, on the bottom right, the correct title of the Bonney's guide is Guide to the Wyoming Mountains and Wilderness Areas, NOT "Guide to Wyoming's Mountains and Wilderness Areas."

The overlay on the photo of Closed Mountain in the bottom right corner of page 195 got accidentally nudged and I did not notice it until after the book was being printed. Here is what the corrected overlay should look like:

Thank you for visiting my website forum. I very much welcome posts from people interested in my books, maps, website, and the mountains of Greater Yellowstone. Please become a member using the "Register" function in the upper right on this page. I will receive an email with your registrati...

2019...I take that all back...Now feel that the party definitely tried from Indian Basin the 14th and Titcomb Basin on the 15th.

This note from Van Andruss, author of "A Compass and a Chart: The Life of Fred Brown, Philosopher & Mountaineer," brought tears to my eyes when I received it on March 12, 2016. Fred Brown has always been an inspiration, and I never even met him: Thomas! What a great job you did with th...

"Thank you so much for taking the time for us to stop by and pick up the books last month. It was a pleasure meeting you after seeing your reviews in a few magazines. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading, looking and repeatedly flipping through your books. You did a great job pulling all the littl...

I have had some books come back with binding problems and pages missing. Please contact me if your book has any problems, and I will send you a new one. [email protected] or 307-690-3296

Hello Mr. Turiano, My name is Mark Davidson, and I'm just sending an email to thank you for writing Select Peaks of Greater Yellowstone. I first learned of your book soon after moving to Big Sky in 2008, and friends' copies have been constant resources and inspiration for nearly every adventure I've...

From Molly Rudolphi of Bozeman, MT: Dear Thomas, Wow- this book is amazing. It is so special. As super avid skiers, endless back country explorers, history lovin’, dirtbag Montana mountain dwellers, my boyfriend and I are obviously inclined to love what you’ve put together. However, it seems to be a...

I received this fantastic letter from Nate Wescott of Alpine, WY today...Thanks Nate! Hi Tom, I wanted to let you know that I received your new book last week. I didn't realize that you had signed it, until a friend pointed it out, thank you for that bonus. For me, growing up in the Adirondacks, I h...

Hi Everyone, Here are some comments I have received about Jackson Hole Backcountry Skier's Guide: South . I am really honored...Thank you. If you would like to add a comment, please reply to this topic. "What an exceptional book! It fits the exceptional man behind it. Thank you, Tom. What an ho...

In 2012, Pat Mees found an old video in a family attic of his grandfather's 1932 first ascent of Pilot Peak. There had been only a brief mention of the climb in Bonney's Guide to Wyoming Mountains and in mountaineering literature, and certainly no details had ever surfaced about their daring climb u...

While climbing the mountain for the first time this weekend with Nancy Bockino, I discovered a few points that require clarification in my Musembeah section (pages 322-323). 1. Firstly, I can see why Finis Mitchell was stopped at the east summit (point 12,355) during his 1953 attempt to climb Musemb...

Tom, I checked with Chris (wife) and neither of us recall the approach from Sky Tops lake being a big problem or particularly onerous. And I've done it twice. I remember picking my way around the lake with boulders and water but not much beyond that until on the routes. Chris said "I don't reme...

Hi Tom, Great book; impressive effort. I've climbed a number of those peaks and have added a couple more since seeing a friend's and then buying my own copy. I saw in the book, and let it pass, the comments on Granite from Sky Top Lakes. Bit I just read the same on your forum. Climbing Granite from ...

Tom, Thanks for leading the charge up Cloudveil on Monday. That was a really great experience for me. It pushed me a bit further technically, and it further increased my comfort on the high peaks. That's my goal, and I owe you a great debt of gratitude for all of your teaching and leadership over th...

3/1/10 email from Ryan Minton: Thought I'd drop a line and fill you in on some of our findings on Elephant Mountain in the Northern Gallatin from this past weekend. We got a wild hair on Saturday morning and decided to go investigate the skiability of The Tusk, a line which you report on in Select P...

Dear Tom,

We had such an incredible time with you, thank you so much! Backcountry
skiing is my absolutely favourite thing to do and the time we spent with
you in Wyoming made the whole trip.

Best wishes and hugs,

Ginny and David

Snapped this shot of the southeast side of Pinnacle Butte today from near the summit of Peak 10,822. With the snow on all the gentle terrain, it gives a great view of the easiest route to the top.

I often get questions about climbing Granite Peak from the southwest, via Aero and Sky Top Lakes. I know of at least a couple parties that have tried and failed by this approach, including one of the first attempts on the mountain by Fred Inabnit. I also know of at least a couple parties who used th...

Trout Peak (photos by Tim Schoessler) http://www.summitpost.org/images/medium/543064.jpg http://www.summitpost.org/images/medium/543125.jpg Tim Schoessler of Powell, Wyoming sent me the following link to his superb SummitPost description and photos about Trout Peak. This is well worth a look if you ...

Finally made an attempt on Carter Mountain on July 31, 2009 with J Pattyn of Riverton. This area of the Southeast Absaroka, while generally dry, remote, and barren, is classic spectacular Absaroka terrain and well worth exploring. It consists generally of vast grassy slopes topped by other-worldy br...

Tom - Thanks for the info on Barronette Peak - we made a successful climb last friday. We followed your description, except we parked at the bridge crossing about 1/2 mile south of where you indicated. This prevented us from having to cross Soda Butte Creek, which was flowing pretty strongly. Then w...

My reply: The typical/easiest way up is by the south ridge...see attached map. Might be pretty technical going via the north ridge...I don't know. For the south ridge, there's a plowed pullout on the highway pretty much even with the drainage that you go up. The drainage has some tricky routefinding...

Received this message from Joseph Bullough: Tom - I have a copy of "Select Peaks of Greater Yellowstone" and it is an outstanding book. I was wondering if you have any advice for an attempt of Barronette Peak? My wife and I will be up there over Memorial Day weekend, and if conditions are ...

Dear Tom, Thank you for volunteering to show a slideshow for the Backcountry Film Festival. The show was very impressive (I liked it better than the films!) and I have heard great things about it all week. Hopefully, we can work together again in the future. Thank you, Friends of Pathways, Wild Wyo,...

Tom- Hugh and I are sending this token of appreciation for all of the backcountry experiences that you share with us. We truly appreciate all that you teach us. I, particularly, appreciate your patience with me as I learn more about technique. You are a great guide, teacher, and friend. Hugh and Jul...

From Marcelo Madeiros, Sao Paolo, Brazil: Tom, We came back to Brazil and told Lucas (our eldest son that didn't go this year) all about our vacation. The part he really missed? Skiing out of bounds with you. Jackson wouldn't be the same without Tom Turiano. We will try to go this summer and will le...

On August 10-13, a crew of climbers from Montana plan to ascend Grante Peak, Mount Cowen, and the Grand Teton in three consecutive days to raise money for HIS Soup Rescue Mission in Bozeman.

Braden Burkholder submitted this satellite image with the red line showing the best route up. This allows you to stay on the trail as long as possible, but still being able to make it up through the cliff band that circles the peak (blue).

On 3/24/08, I received an email from Stephanie Buswell, who pointed out that there is no Class I route to the summit from the saddle east of Elephanthead Mountain as stated on page 173 of "Select Peaks." I had not visited this side of the mountain prior to the book, and only had climbed th...

Dear Tom, Thank you for a fantastic trip! You and Exum Mountain Guides took good care of me. The climbing guide was only one part of the experience for me. Your expertise in the areas beyond the climbing, geology, and the geologic and human history of the area, and hospitality showed a true professi...

Received this letter from Rick Reese on 9/29/07: Hi Tom, I was going back over parts of your book last week and noted your interest in William H. Jackson. I thought you might like a copy of the attached correspondence with Horace Albright. I have a great photo of Albright and Cook taken in 1922. I w...

I received this letter from Jamie Robertson on 9/26/07: Thomas- Hello! First off, i'd just like to say how much I've enjoyed my copy of Select Peaks. I've been working all over the GYE doing research the past two years and its been the tinder for a lot of memorable adventures. I've also picked up a ...

I received this email from Terry Cunningham on 8/23/07: Thomas: I hope this finds you well. I am planning to hike up to Alex Lowe Peak this Saturday (my first trip since the mountain was officially named) and it occurred to me that I never fully closed the loop with you on Hellmouth Couloir. It turn...

Yesterday, I climbed Ramshorn Peak after nearly 10 years since my first time up in it September of 1997. The description of the ascent of Ramshorn Peak in Select Peaks is based on my experience on the mountain in 1997, along with info from friends who climbed it in the early 2000s. I am amazed by ho...

Brock Anderson and a crew from Bozeman climbed The Pyramid this past weekend making a big loop from Lambert Creek Trailhead up the south ridge of The Pyramid and back via The Pyramid Mountain Trail. Here's his route up the south side of The Pyramid: http://www.thomasturiano.com/images/brockpyramidro...

In September of 2006, a fire started in Passage Creek and blew east over the ridge into and across Colley Creek, east to Lambert Creek, and north across Mill Creek into the vicinity of The Pyramid.

I received this great letter on 2/20/04 from Louisa Willcox: Dear Thomas, I picked up you book recently, Select Peaks of Greater Yellowstone. I wanted to thank you for your very thoughtful introduction, and your emphasis on conservation of the wilderness and learning to live in the wilds of Yellowst...

Tom, Love your select peaks book - I picked it up when it was first published and I'm emarrassed that this is the first time I've contacted you given how great your information is! I've been to many of the MT peaks you have listed in the book and I absolutely love the area. Having grown up climbing ...

Sorry Mark for the tardy reply. The Antoinette Peak area (Granite Hot Springs area) is a prime BC ski destination with tons of great long runs. Trouble is access. You need a snowmachine for winter access along the 9-mile Granite Creek Road, or a full day of kick and glide on the road. In the spring,...

It is October 28, 2006, and I just heard the terrible news about Ken Koski's death on Mount Bonneville.

On October 2, 2006, my friends Forrest and Amy McCarthy climbed Crow Mountain via its south ridge. They provided an excellent description of that side of the mountain: The ridge is most easily gained by following the left-hand option in Photo 2 above. There is an easy couloir that leads to a defined...

Received this email from Tom Lachmar via J Pattyn regarding conditions on the north face of Jackson Peak in the Wind River Mountains: "We successfully climbed the left ice coulior on the north face of Jackson the day after we met. The route conditions were quite a bit different than they were t...

To Scott and everyone else who has drooled over the same picture currently hanging at The Place in Cora, WY. The same picture used to hang at Mountain High Pizza in Jackson and I believe it used to hang at Nora's in Wilson too. Anyway, Austen Peak is the high point of the plateau along the wildernes...

Hi, I have received this question numerous times, but never so eloquently as from Scott Stolte today: Tom- I came across an amazing picture down in the little restaurant N. of Cora( "The Place"). The photo showed an amazing looking peak with a huge couloir off the summit. It was identified...

In mid July of this year, Kim Latterell and Bob Lesher of Billings, Montana found the lost Inabnit plaque. Latterell is spearheading an effort to have the plaque reattached in a prominent place.

On August 3 and 4, 2006, Tom Carter and I made a loop from Lambert Creek Trailhead and traversed the ridge between Crow Mountain and The Pyramid in the Western Beartooths. After years of speculating about how great these peaks are, I finally got a chance to see first hand. (See map at bottom of page...

On July 23-24, 2006, I climbed Doubletop and Triangle peaks from the Darwin Ranch side. I had climbed Doubletop twice before, once in April 1987 from a camp above Brewster Lake, and once in summer in one day from Dell Creek. I also climbed Triangle during that April trip. So, I was excited to explor...

On July 8, 2006, Amy Brennan, Derek Collins, and one other made a giant loop in Swift Creek in the Salt River Range, traversing from Mount Fitzpatrick to Rock Lake Peak. Amy Brennan told me..... "No, it was not the plan, just looked inviting...and it was a perfect day...no impending storms, etc...

On page 346 of Select Peaks, I described the summer and winter approach to the standard route on Jackson Peak, but neglected to describe the spring approach to skiing on the north face of Jackson Peak. The north face of Jackson Peak is a great place for spring skiing, especially for the added benefi...

Dear Tom, I spent a few seasons in YNP in the 70s, mostly as a bartender, and scrambled a lot of the peaks along the east side of the park before gravitating to the granite ranges. Abiathar was a favorite and is such a complex mountain that it's one of the few places I've been genuinely lost. A coup...

Torsten, Why didn't you guys take the Stillwater Plateau? I guess it wouldn't have worked with the weather you had, but I have heard that the Stillwater Plateau is a cruise and easy to access by mining road from Benbow Mine. Wow....sounds like it blew the misery of Hawley Creek out of the water. I g...

Mary Berger of the Jackson Hole Historical Society sent me the following note thanking me for the slide show that I gave at the Wort Hotel on February 16, 2006: Dear Tom, Thank you so very much for the super program you did for our Mountaineering Series.

Received this from Sean O'Bierne after skiing with his party in late February 2006: Hi Tom, Just a quick line to say thanks for the 2 great mornings with you – we all thoroughly enjoyed it. Even Nick said he could get into this “uphill stuff” ! I have to say Park City and the surrounding area was a ...

It was the most technical mountaineering climb either of us have attempted so it is hard to relate it to anything. The couloir below the two rappels was very skiable, I would estimate the average slope to be about 45 degrees. There is a choke on the skiers left of the chock stone, which is just over...

Kyle: Thomas Turiano forwarded your e-mail and web link to me. Congratulations on the ski descent! I was involved with the mountain-naming process of Alex Lowe Peak, so I have a real interest in the subject. I was able to uncover VERY little information from Alex and Hans about their descent of Hell...

Inspired by the recent naming of Alex Lowe Peak, and the history of Lowe and Saari's "Hellmouth Couloir" above, Kyle Christenson and Patrick Lawrence of Bozeman recently trekked up South Cottonwood Creek to make the probable second descent of "Hellmouth Couloir" on January 29, 20...

I just wanted to say again how much we enjoyed skiing with you on Thursday. It was the highlight of what was a fantastic vacation. It was a very lucky day for me—both because the conditions and skiing were terrific but also getting to meet you.

Hello Thomas - Yes, it was an interesting story. I've been up Beehive many times, but one time in '83 or '84 a friend and I were sitting on the peak and enjoying the view (and reading the register). I was poking at the rocks I was sitting on and uncovered a little metal aspirin box, all rusted and w...

Phil Knight of Bozeman mentioned that when he climbed Beehive Peak years ago, he noticed a small cannister (found on the summit sometime in the 1950s by Walkin Jim Stoltz, who placed the cannister into the main summit register cannister) containing the names of a party that had climbed Beehive Peak ...

Hi Tom: Regarding the apparent lack of a Koch summit photo, yeah, that's what I think now, too. (Close enough, though. I don't want to be picky -- it's obvious his team was up there!) I believe the thing that got me curious about the whole matter was the lack of any mention of a flat, perched summit...

Tom: Thanks a bunch for the reply and for sending those priceless Koch expedition photos. That was quite a nice gesture, and it really resolved the question I had as to the condition of the summit. After comparing the picture you sent of Koch with the flag, reading your note, and scrolling through a...

Hi Thomas, I just read the excellent intro to Peaks. Well put. We sure need places like this with some actual howling, dangerous, unpredictable, untamed nature to keep us in our place and remind us where we came from. In 1991 my wife and I spent the summer on foot circling the "core" of Gr...

Hi Tim, That's great you climbed with Charlie....he is something else...super strong. Teaches my daughter at Journeys School. I think the summit is the same now as it was then in 1923, except that I bet a bunch of summit boulders have been trundled off the north face, which is why the summit is so b...

I received this email from Tim Townsend on 1/4/06: Tom: With some help from your outstanding Select Peaks of Greater Yellowstone book, we had a great Granite Pk climb this past summer summitted 8/22/05).

Contrary to what is written on page 323 of Select Peaks about the USBGN mistakenly naming today's Musembeah with the name Petroleum Peak, Paul Horton recently visited the USBGN in Washington D.C. and found out what really happened.

More on this later....

Painstaking mountaineering researcher Paul Horton just returned from Washington D.C., where he spent three days perusing the archives of the US Board on Geographic Names. In the Antoinette Peak file, he found these two letters addressed to the USBGN from William A. Hoesch, mailed from 652 Dewey, Bou...

Thank you very much Mark! I think the Mega Rides are great. I work as a ski guide at JH ski area and use them every day both in-bounds and out. I don't use them much in the real backcountry unless I know I'm going to be skiing something firm and steep. The reason is because I like to have a flexible...

Hey, Tom: What a great surprise when I checked email this morning. Thanks very much for these terrific photos. I really appreciate you taking them, as well as sending them to me as you have. Not only will I enjoy them frequently, reminding me of great hikes and incredible country, they will effectiv...

I went down to the southern Salts today to climb Greysalt Mountain, which is mentioned in Select Peaks on pages 368 and 465. It is the fourth highest peak in the Salt River Range.

Thomas: It's official. We received word that the name's been approved. I've attached a press release that was sent out. Thanks for all of your help on this project. Had it not been for "Select Peaks of the Greater Yellowstone," I never would have stumbled into the link between Alex and 10,...

Hi Tom,

Thanks so much for the kind comments about "Select Peaks" as well as your great trip reports on Lone, Monument, Hoback, and Leidy.

I really enjoy reading about others' experiences in the hills around here...great to hear other perspectives. Please keep them coming!

Thomas Turiano

Received this nice letter from Mike Kowalski of New Jersey: Tom, I would like to thank you very much for the best day of climbing that the girls and I have ever had.

Mr. Turiano, I wanted to let you know how much I enjoy having your "Select Peaks of Greater Yellowstone" on our reference shelf in our summer home in Pinedale. Your research is monumental and you deserve to be congratulated. My wife and myself, like so many others, have had a life-long lov...

Before Hans Saari died in a ski mountaineering accident on May 7, 2001 in the Alps, he mentioned to me that he and Alex Lowe had skied a very steep and exciting couloir on Peak 10,031 (1988 Mount Blackmore quadrangle) in the northern Gallatin Range. This rugged volcanic peak sits between the forks o...
