Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Geology Along Going-To-The-Sun Road (Paperback)
Going to Glacier National Park? Taking a tour? Driving on your own? Either way, this is one of the two or so books you'll want to take along with you.
Why this recommendation. "Geology" is more than an introduction to the geology of Glacier Park. It is a description of Going-to-the-Sun Road which is the only road to transverse the Park. It notes and explains the major geological points of interest along the route. These points correspond to the general points of interest and places you will want to stop. Far beyond geological explanations, this small 62 paged yet large 8 ½ by 11 inch glossy paged volume is full of remarkable color photographs and explanatory charts. It includes a three page fold out showing the entire route of this remarkable road and the mountains surrounding it. This alone is worth the price. I am not educated in geology to pass judgments on this material. But I note that it was prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey and published by Glacier Natural History Association. Both are groups with a solid reputation. But, as the Introduction says, it is "directed toward (those) with little or no background in geology". |
