We're here! What should we do, what is there to see?" In the preface to his practical and well-illustrated Glacier National Park guidebook, Alan Leftridge writes that as a park ranger, he often heard those questions from excited visitors who "wanted to start making memories."
Many of Glacier's two million annual visitors travel a long way to reach northwestern Montana, and when they arrive, they are not only in awe of the scenery but of the scope of the prospective activities that await them in a 1,012,837-acre preserve with 762 lakes and 745.6 miles of trails. While Glacier is best experienced without hurry or stress, the economics of vacation travel make it necessary for visitors to maximize their time in the park.
"The Best of Glacier National Park" highlights, as Leftridge puts it, the park's "iconic features." The book begins with an overview of park facts, geology, and cultural history. This is followed by twenty-six "best of" chapters describing everything from scenic drives, picnic areas and nature trails to wild flowers, birds and photography opportunities.
Each chapter includes a map, color photographs and clearly marked headings and subheadings that make the information easy to find. This book is meant to be used as a quick and easy reference whether you are stopped at an overlook on the Going-to-the-Sun Road or standing in a subalpine fir forest on the Swiftcurrent Nature Trail. The hiking sections, which are broken down into nature trails, day hikes and backpack trips, include directions and special features you'll want to see and photograph.
Glacier's rangers, naturalists, boat crews and saddle tour operators are probably asked more questions about the park's flora and fauna than anything else.
