Moon Glacier National Park (Moon Handbooks)

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 smorgasboard (an eight-day overview), wildlife watching, getting away from it all: two chalets, wildflower wonders, and the 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.
