You have not discovered Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks until you have stepped into the backcountry. Written by veteran outdoor author Erik Molvar, Hiking Glacier & Waterton Lakes National Parks, formerly The Trail Guide to Glacier & Waterton Lakes National Parks, covers every trail in both parks and takes hikers to glistening glaciers, mountain lookouts, peaceful lakes, and remote campgrounds in a remarkably diverse wilderness. The Glacier-Waterton Lakes complex has trails for everyone, ranging form two miles to thirty-eight miles and from strenuous to easy. The text includes mile-by-mile descriptions, easy-to-follow maps, and elevation charts, along with narratives on the geographic features you'll pass, the wildlife you might see, and the places you can camp, boat, fish, or simply explore. Hiking Glacier & Waterton Lakes National Parks also includes a fishing chart, a campground rating chart, and a special section on extended backpacking trips. This is a guidebook to put in your pack the next time you head into the untamed backcountry.
Veteran author and backcountry explorer Erik Molvar discovered backpacking while working on a volunteer trails crew in the North Cascades of Washington. He is the author of more than a dozen FalconGuides for such places as Glacier National Park, the Bob Marshall Wilderness, Olympic National Park, Zion and Bryce Canyon National Park, as well as Hiking Colorado's Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness.
