Mistitled - use it as a hiking guide,
By Norman Spencer (Hadley, MA USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park (Paperback)
There is only general info in here for facilities, accomodations and activities other than hiking. The title is deceptive. On the positive side, it has useful maps and data for hikes all of which include a graph showing the altitude change along the path.

A valuable guide for active travelers to Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks,
By Ikuto Yagawa (Birmingham, Alabama) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park (Paperback)
This is the newest guide for the whole family that wants to hike or backpack 70 of the best trails through the combined US/Canadian national parks of Glacier and Waterton Lakes, now Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park.* A completely revised guide with lots of fun to-do's for kids * USGS map information and trail profiles * Informative sidebars and trip finders In 1932, Glacier National Park in Montana and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada were joined together to create the world's first International Peace Park. More than a political union, the park was created in recognition that the beautiful, rare, and delicate ecosystems of the northern Rockies shouldn't end at national or political boundaries. From nature walks and short hikes to glute-burning backpacking trips, this book showcases 70 of the best trails. Each area of the park is accompanied by a trip finder, which shows the difficulty of specific routes and the special highlights of each trail. This new edition also has more complete information blocks with USGS map information and trail profiles.

Excellent Hiking Book,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park (Paperback)
I bought this book in 2005 to help plan a week-long backpacking trip to Glacier NP. At the same time I bought the similar book from Falcon Press. I am re-reading both now because I am taking the family out there this summer to do day hiking and family light-weight things.Although both did the job well, I especially like Vicky Spring's version. It was mainly little things. I liked how the maps were drawn in a relief or 3-D style. Her photos often had people in them which made them less static. The hikes are well organized by logical areas in the park. Vicky Spring does a good job of covering everything from easy family-friendly strolls to strenuous multi-night backpacking trips. The previous review was correct in that the title is misleading. This is definitely a hiking/backpacking book for Glacier National Park and a good one at that.
