I trust Falcon Guide Books by Lady Sheepherder (Bonanza, OR USA)

Because I own a lot of Falcon Guidebooks, it was easy for me to purchase this one. I am planning a trip to Glacier in the near future and have been to the park several times before, but not hiking. At the time of my last visit, hiking was not in my vocabulary. I always try to familiarize myself with any guidebook when I purchase it even when my trip might be years in the future. That way I am comfortable with the location of each trail, the description, length, and time required to make the hike. The book seems to be very comprehensive in nature and the information seems to be very accurate, to my prior knowledge of the park. Once I have taken my trip, I will come back and leave a more detailed review of the book. I also plan on visiting the Canadian side of the park and will include that in my future review. If you plan on hiking in Glacier National Park or the Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada, I would highly recommend this guidebook.

Basically just a well organized compendium of the free park literature by James F. Pine (Oakland, CA USA)

For less than ten dollars, one would be hard pressed to call this a waste of money, as it does provide a great deal of information on 28 different hikes throughout the park. That said, it doesn't provide much more information than the one can pick up at any of the ranger stations, [...]. Its main advantage is organization, as you're not futzing around with a bunch of double sided pieces of paper and several newsletters, trying to figure out which hike to go on and how to get there.

We found this book to be a great resource for trying to cover all areas of the park in only 5 days. We were able to do some hiking in all the main areas of the park and really get to take in some of the great beauty of the park that you just can't see from the road!

Useful Glacier hike planning by Carlos NY (NY, USA)

Used this a lot to plan day hikes and did many of the listed hikes while at Glacier in July 2008. Distances, times seemed reasonably accurate and comments a good synopsis for the trail. Doesn't rate hikes, "easy", "difficult", etc; but most in Glacier are in the easy-intermediate range anyway. Relatively small size made it easy to take along or fit in pants pocket. Trails in Glacier are well used/marked so you don't really need it during hiking, but I liked it for planning my hikes or referencing when having to change plans during the day. Maybe only thing to add are a few pictures, which can help decide if you want to take a certain trail or not.

Excellent book by Sharon S. Hudgins (Seminole, Florida)
