Author, Jared Diamond's descriptive impressions of the Bitterroot Valley: " A dozen miles south of Missoula is a long straight stretch of road where the valley floor is flat and covered with farmland, and where the snowcapped Bitterroot mountains on the west and the Sapphire Mountains on the east rise abruptly from the valley. I was overwhelmed by the beauty and scale of it...I had never seen anything like it before. It filled me with a sense of peace, and an extraordinary perspective on my place in the world.....Every time I return to the Bitterroot, when I enter it on that stretch of road south of Missoula, that first sight of the valley fills me again with the same sense of tranquility and grandeur, and that same perspective on my relationship to the universe. It's easier to preserve that sense in Montana than anywhere else.'' This is where our property lies...on the truly glorious Bitterroot River ! "
