Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal
These two valuable guides to popular recreational areas both deserve a place in any public library. Oregon State Parks considers often overlooked attractions of this remarkable state, best known for its Crater Lake National Park. Bannan covers 110 of these scenic jewels, giving potential visitors all the information they will need to make the most out of what is bound to be a memorable vacation. Her personal involvement with her subject is evident in her lyrical descriptions of the sights and accommodations. More utilitarian, but still displaying a dash of humor, is Spring's guide to Montana's Glacier National Park and its Canadian counterpart--Waterton Lakes. This was the first park to cross the U.S.-Canadian border, yet there remains enough of a difference in administration and tourist amenities to maintain distinctive cultural boundaries. Spring presents an exhaustive look at the backpacking opportunities available in each park. She does describes the creature comforts offered by the parks but makes it clear that these are parks to be savored more in the crisp air of the outdoors than the tourist hotel. These are two outstanding additions to any collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park, June 1, 2000
Nice size for backpack. Concise profiles of the various hiking, biking, skiing trails with needed info re length, difficulty, elevation gain, sights along the way as well as the locale of each. There are small maps to give you an idea of each trail and a selection of photos. Included in the intro are suggestions of where to stay, the amenities of the area and important safety tips.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best all-around guide on Glacier NP., September 4, 2001
By Chadwick Greenhalgh (Farmington, UT United States) - See all my reviews
I bought both this book and the Falcon Guide to Glacier NP. Although a little out of date, I really preferred this book. I found its hiking maps to be far superior -- they're drawings with dimension that gives you a really good idea of what the hike is going to be like, and the author actually expresses some opinions and preferences, which is rare in a guide book like this. Most important, I agreed with her judgements.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book for hikes, August 3, 2003
Just got back from GNP and used this book extensively for hikes. Great descriptions and format allow you to quickly narrow in on the best choices for the time you have and area of the park you are at. Also has a number of good descriptions of bike paths, although the author's advice on biking along Going-To-The-Sun Road (p.66) is really a bad idea. It's way too narrow and congested to be safe for bikes.

1.0 out of 5 stars Complete??
Only the first twenty pages mention ANYTHING about recreation or facilities. The rest is simply a hiking guide. No color pictures.
