You’ll find where to spot a glacier, spy grizzly bears, swim with icebergs, cast lines for native trout, smother your taste buds with huckleberry pie, ride horseback, and run your fingers over some of North America’s oldest rock formations. Written by Becky Lomax, a local hiking guide whose love affair with the park spans decades, Moon Handbook Glacier National Park puts under one cover the best ways to hike, camp, boat, bike, fish, and sightsee the rugged Crown of the Continent.

Organized around how visitors use the park, the book connects recreation, lodging, and logistics for each region. With chapters including Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada and Flathead Valley as the park’s gateway, the book nails how to recreate in the greater Glacier region. With lodging, camping, and dining recommended for each area, visitors can plan day trips or set up base camps for one night to a week. Because of bears, the book also includes how to camp, fish, and hike where humans are not top on the food chain.

To purchase a copy of the book, please go to Glacier Natural History Association or Amazon.
