DISTINCTLY MONTANA'S LIGHT-HEARTED
SKETCHBOOK FIELD GUIDE TO SUMMER TOURISTS
TRACKS
S
UMMERTIME IN MONTANA IS
GREAT TO GET OUT AND ENJOY
ALL OF THE AMAZING ACTIVITES
THE TREASURE STATE HAS TO OFFER.
And one of our favorite activities is to watch
all the people as they visit. Some of the tour-
ists can be as interesting as our wildlife, so we
created this handy guide to help identify the
colorful visitors you may see this summer!
Tourista Maximus can usually be found back-
ing his gigantic personal bus into parking lots
of National Park attractions. And Walmarts.
Always Walmarts.
While the eyesight of Tourista Maximus seems
to be within normal human range, biologists
are still at a loss to determine why they
carry cameras with lenses big enough
to capture close-ups of
distant galaxies.
Flip-flops or sandals are the distinctive footwear for Tourista
Maximus, and can be found in white or black sock varieties.

Look for the number of vehicles being towed
by the gigantic bus to identify which species
of Tourista Maximus you have encountered.
