5.0 out of 5 stars A hike planners dream., May 2, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Hiking Montana 20th Anniversary Edition (State Hiking Series) (Paperback)

I plan the hikes for my Boy Scout Troop and we do a 50 miler each summer. This book is up to date and accurate. We can find the best places with RELIABLE information! Even the forest service can't give us as much information as this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, but incomplete, December 28, 2004

By	Nicholas J. Dolezal (Missoula, MT United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The book's information and descriptions for the trails it has are decent, but it's missing quite a few of them I personally know in the Missoula area. Some of the lesser known trails' omission is forgivable, but not listing Blue Mountain? I mean, come on. That would be like listing attractions in San Diego, and not mentioning the zoo.

If you're hoping for an end-all reference encylopedia of Montana trails like I was, this ain't it. But, if you're happy with a rather spotty listing of trails mostly focused around waterways, this is your book.

Very informative book. There are several hikes in it I have already hiked and I have found some I would like to hike.
