Montana has been immortalized and idealized by countless authors and artists over the years. It’s nearly impossible to exist in the presence of the mountains and rivers of Montana without feeling something. The thing I find myself feeling most often is lucky.

Anyone who has ever lived or visited here can attest that Montana is very aptly nicknamed Big Sky Country. My beautiful mother-in-law, Allison Negus Reynolds, is a Montana native, an avid hiker as well as a talented photographer. It is with special thanks to her kind heart, keen eye for beauty and unwavering support, that I proudly present some of her favorite pictures of her adventures below.
