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.

Not quite a full Moon guide by Cheryl Carroll

September 11, 2009
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.

Essential for visiting Glacier National Park by H. Willard (Studio City, CA USA)

This book was the only book we could find that was a comprehensive travel guide to Glacier National Park. It was very user friendly and had the sections of the park easily organized. The restaurants and attractions that were given a "moon" or a must see rating, were spot on. We found the information succinct and helpful and it helped us plan both our days and nights. Almost everything we needed to know was in this book. However, it did lack information on some of the smaller hikes which we were able to find in the park paper, and it had almost no information or pictures of the flora and fauna in the area, which made it frustrating when we saw something and didn't have a way to know what it was. The park papers didn't have that either! This book was invaluable to a first time traveller to the area and I highly recommend it.

This book does a pretty good job of covering all the areas within Glacier. Just wish there were more photos of the main sites, historic lodges, etc.

Don't visit Glacier without this getting this book! by E. Cagwin (Midwest, USA)

My husband and I just returned from a 10 day trip to Glacier National Park. We traveled throughout the park sightseeing, paddling, hiking, whitewater rafting, and horseback riding. From accomodations and places to eat to things to do, this guide NEVER let us down! We found if they recommended it, it was a stand out in its class. Don't visit Glacier without taking this book with you!

good guide by Ye Wang (Florida)

It's a very good guide, telling you how to plan your visit and almost list every useful information. However, I notice that she said st. mary visitor center opens at 8, and another place she said open at 7. So I'm not sure which one is right. Some information is a little out of date, for example, hotel rates. But it is reasonable because hotels increase rates every year.
