Product Description
Writer, editor, and avid outdoorswoman Becky Lomax offers an insider’s perspective on Glacier National Park, where she once worked shredding lettuce in the kitchen so she could hike nearly 300 miles of park trails during her free time. From hiking through multi-color meadows filled with wildflowers to observing the Sperry Glacier, a victim of global warming that will vanish in less than two decades, Lomax knows the best ways to enjoy the park’s one million acres of wilderness. She also includes unique trip strategies for travelers with specific interests and restrictions, including a Wildlife-Watching tour and a whirlwind One Day in Glacier tour. Whether it’s biking up Going-to-the-Sun Road or watching a grizzly forage in huckleberries, Moon Glacier National Park gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.

Summary: Spot On 2010-08-01
Comment: We used this book to plan our dream vacation to Glacier. We purchased it months in advance and took it with us. Becky Lomax didn't miss a thing. Every detail was spot on. From scenes to see while getting to the lengths of the hikes. A very accurate reference book. A very valuable tool for the travel. Becky knows Glacier for sure. Some prices may have changed on boat rides but that is to be expected. The most accurate travel book I ever purchased!

Summary: Not quite a full Moon guide 2009-09-11
Comment: The Moon series of guides my wife and I have used are accurate, organized and very helpful. The Canadian rocky mountain park guide was particularly good and matched our experience in all the national and provincial parks. Although published this year, the glacier guide was not so reliable. Its description of the park layout was confusing but somewhat justified by the fact that the park layout consists partly of separate sections with separate entrances accessed by dead-end roads. Accommodations were not always described accurately which lead to some embarrassment. For example, the guide stated that it was alright to bring alcohol into the St. Mary's Cafe. Our waiter denied it and was offended by the thought that anyone would ever be allowed to do so. We stayed at the Johnson cabins there partly because the guide stated that they rented for $75-$100/night. They were $159/night minimum and the owner was annoyed when showed the book citation. He said the price hadn't been that low since he built the cabins. Our experience hiking the trails did not always fit our expectations based upon reading the guide which was not always clear or correct regarding location of trail heads and trail details. For example, the scenic trail lookout point in Two Medicine was described as lying below the main trail while in fact it is above it. Nevertheless, most of the information was useful and we were glad to have the book to help us organize our stay.
