1.0 out of 5 stars For Hikers Only, July 24, 2004
By 
Virginia Rover (Virginia Beach, VA United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Lonely Planet Banff, Jasper & Glacier National Parks (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I own and use several Lonely Planet Guides. I have come to trust these books as thorough, authoritative and helpful in planning and implementing trips. The Banff, Jasper & Glacier National Parks book is an exception and meets none of these criteria unless you sole focus is hiking. This book is for hikers and has little information for others. Furthermore, of the 280 pages of actual information, only 57 pages are devoted to Glacier National Park. Information concerning lodging, restaurants and other activities such as cycling is sparse. The few maps that are included detail mainly hiking trails. If this book had been titled A Hikers Guide, I would highly recommended it.

1.0 out of 5 stars A Big Let Down, August 2, 2005
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet Banff, Jasper & Glacier National Parks (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)
I have used Lonely Planet travel guides for years. Yet, I am sorry to say that this one is a real let down. The lay out is not user friendly. The print styles are very difficult to read. The book is not directed to the outdoors person as was the hallmark of the series. I was throughly dissappointed in this guide. The Moon guide is a vastly superior guide to this area.

5.0 out of 5 stars A worthy companion for these parks, July 7, 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Lonely Planet Banff, Jasper & Glacier National Parks (Lonely Planet Travel Guides) (Paperback)
Just the kind of book I'd want wandering these Parks for the first time. Along with lodging and eating ideas, this book includes maps of the parks, hiking routes and descriptions, and my particular favorite, the section near the end which gave background of the geological, flora and fauna aspects of this region. It was well organized and easily utilized. I carried it my bag and referred to it often, and was able to astound (or annoy) my companions with countless facts.
