Product Description
Written by a local hiking guide whose love affair with the park spans decades, Moon Glacier National Park uncovers the best ways to experience the rugged Crown of the Continent. You’ll find where to smother your taste buds with huckleberry pie, where to spot a glacier, where to spy grizzly bears, where to swim with icebergs, and where to run your fingers over some of North America’s oldest rock formations. Moon Glacier National Park and Becky Lomax help you have a truly personal experience.
Suggested travel strategies and lists of must-see sights provide you with real insights so you can decide where you should go, stay, and eat—without hassles or regrets. Becky's travel strategies include One Day in Glacier, The Glacier Smorgasbord (an eight-day overview), Wildlife Watching, Getting Away From it All, Wildflower Wonders, and Top Ten Day Hikes.
Becky details where to trek, climb, mountain bike, swim, kayak, and relax between glaciers or towering mountains. Complete with maps, photographs, illustrations, and special emphasis on leading destinations such as Going-to-the-Sun Road, Logan Pass, Grinnell Glacier, Many Glacier Hotel, Granite Park Chalet, Lake McDonald, and Waterton National Park. Moon Glacier National Park has all the tools for you to create your own trip.

 Comprehensive September 8, 2008
My wife and I recently visited the park, and found this book to be exceptional. It gives a good rundown of the various areas of the park, as well as restaurant and lodging options. It also has a lot of good tidits of info about the history of the park. You really could get by with just this book, but I'd also recommend picking up the Falcon guide book of day hikes in Glacier. That small book, which fits nicely in your pocket, is great for picking hikes, some of which are also described in this book. This book was printed in 2006, so some of the restaurant info is out of date, but most info was spot-on accurate. We stayed in the St. Mary section of the park, which gave us great access to the Many Glacier and Two Medicine areas.
Fantastic for first-timers! July 20, 2008

Bought this book as I was planning a trip to Glacier National Park with my wife and seven year old daughter. It was our first vacation west of the Mississippi and reading the book felt like I had already been there and it was easy to find my way around. We spent seven days in Glacier and, while we did not get to everything I had hoped, the book was indispensable. Ms. Lomax' spot-on descriptions of campgrounds, restaurants and camp stores as well as trails and sights helped us prepare better to enjoy the trip.
I can't imagine a more helpful guide! July 14, 2008
Fantastic guide for the park. Prices were higher than book states for many hotels and activities, so double check those since they go up constantly. Other than that, this is a great guide!

A good book with lots of details about Glacier National Park. However, it doesn't do a great job at explaining the big picture about the park and helping a first time visitor understand the general layout. There should be a different first few paragraphs that explain for a first time visitor. I couldn't find any better books though, so this is a good choice.

Very easy to follow. Like the way it was set-up in sections according to the park locations.
