Title: Moon Glacier National Park (Travel Guide) Pdf
Becky Lomax was three years old when her parents first took her to stay with friends who worked as rangers at Two Medicine Lake in Glacier National Park. During college, Becky worked two summers in the historic Glacier Park Lodge, an easy hop to Two Medicine. She spent her days off hiking, backpacking, and climbing throughout the park.After teaching high school writing and speech outside Seattle, she and her husband moved to Whitefish for quick access to Glacier. She worked in the park for a decade as a hiking and backpacking guide, leading many first-time visitors to Gunsight Pass, Fifty Mountain, and Iceberg Lake. She also served on staff at Granite Park Chalet, spotting wolverines and bagging nearby peaks in her off time.Today, Becky maintains her strong link with Glacier by using her full-time writing career as an excuse to keep hiking in the park. In magazine stories, she lauds the park's trails, historic lodges, scenic drives, wildlife, and wildflowers. She tags along with biologists in the field to radio-collar bighorn sheep and grizzly bears. She also treks annually to Grinnell Glacier to write about how climate change is melting the park's ice fields. Becky serves as the western writer for On the Snow, a website that provides snow reports for ski resorts. She also writes stories for regional newspapers and national magazines such as Smithsonian and Backpacker.

Good Information on the Park but not as detailed for hiking info Guess I expected more details on the trails rather than a narrative about the park. Good info if that's what you a re looking for and the author dedicates a good portion of the book to the Canadian portion of the park BUT it wasn't quite what I was looking for.Really useful This was really useful in planning our trip to Glacier. My number one tip after the trip is - stay inside the park! You have to reserve a year in advance but it’s worth it- trust me!Great book to start planning your trip Well organized and easy to use. One of the daunting task about planning a trip to Glacier is the overwhelming amount of information that's available in print and the Internet. It's a little bit like planning a trip the Disney World for the first time. This book is very helpful in that it divides the park into the specific regions, and allows you to plan your trip based on which region you want to travel in. It lays out lodging, hiking, and activities in each of the key regions. Since the park is so huge this is a great way to approach planning your trip. As a first time traveler to Glacier, this is the first book I found that really made sense and allowed me to begin planning for a weeklong vacation. The book is a handy travel size to bring along. Some of the information in each of the sections is a little redundant.
