Great book for hikes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
Just got back from GNP and used this book extensively for hikes. Great descriptions and format allow you to quickly narrow in on the best choices for the time you have and area of the park you are at. Also has a number of good descriptions of bike paths, although the author's advice on biking along Going-To-The-Sun Road (p.66) is really a bad idea. It's way too narrow and congested to be safe for bikes.
The best all-around guide on Glacier NP.

I bought both this book and the Falcon Guide to Glacier NP. Although a little out of date, I really preferred this book. I found its hiking maps to be far superior -- they're drawings with dimension that gives you a really good idea of what the hike is going to be like, and the author actually expresses some opinions and preferences, which is rare in a guide book like this. Most important, I agreed with her judgements.

Nice size for backpack. Concise profiles of the various hiking, biking, skiing trails with needed info re length, difficulty, elevation gain, sights along the way as well as the locale of each. There are small maps to give you an idea of each trail and a selection of photos. Included in the intro are suggestions of where to stay, the amenities of the area and important safety tips.
