A three-family vacation puzzle!

What a glorious puzzle—hard and so beautiful. We started this when we were in Montana--Jiggy Jr., Jiggy Jr.'s grandmother, Queen of the Cabin, and I. Hopefully, the detail of this puzzle shows—too tough for me. I tried, but this is one of those puzzles (1,000 tiny pieces) where I struggle for hours to assemble one square inch. Needless to say, we did not finish it during our visit.

But grandmother persisted and over the course of two more families' visits (one contingent from Nevada and one from Texas) to the cabin, the puzzle was completed. Photo, courtesy of the almighty matriarch—thank you! It is wondrous to behold. Nothing like an absorbing puzzle to keep people occupied on vacation (that is, when they're not taking a boat ride on the magnificent river, looking for bears and moose, barbequing at the Gazebo, driving through the Glaciers: favorite activities when visiting the cabin in the woods).

Jigsaw trivia: Will Shortz, he of the crossword puzzle and Sudoku populizer, wrote his undergraduate thesis on "enigmatology": the study of the relationship between puzzles and culture (the full story). Perfect!
