Dalton Johnson from Men's Journal called the book the Teton guide book I wish I had,[3] and the book is on the recommended reading list of the National Park Service.[4] The American Alpine Club describes it as exhaustive but “warm,” deeply evocative of a splendid scene, and striving earnestly to tell us everything.[5]
