The National Geographic name prompted me to buy this book, but I was very disappointed. Yes - it covers the major roads through the park and briefly describes the features along those roads. But it never really describes why you might want to go on specific roads, what the most important sights or features are, and what might happen if you got out of the car and actually wanted to see something.

On the plus side, the maps are detailed and list features with short descriptions.

This book is far too basic. I returned it within 24 hours and will look for something better.

This is laid out like the AAA strip maps, each strip covering 5 to 15 miles, with a large-scale map on the inside front cover as an index to the strips. The strips indicate where the turnouts are for a stop, and are a useful guide to the terrain as you drive along each of the Glacier Park roads. No data for hiking, camping, accomodations, etc. but restroom and restaurant locations are given.
