Inhaltsangabe

Glacier National Park delivers some of the most spectacular hiking in the lower 48 — sharp peaks, turquoise glacial lakes, and grizzly country that feels genuinely wild. But between shifting entrance fees, a new ticketed Logan Pass Shuttle, discontinued vehicle reservations, and trails that can hold snow into July, planning a safe and successful trip has never been more complicated. This guide solves that problem.

Glacier National Park Guide is a complete, up-to-date hiking companion covering everything from gentle boardwalk strolls to demanding backcountry traverses. Every trail is rated by difficulty, distance, and elevation gain, with GPS-ready trailhead details and realistic timing — so you can match a route to your fitness level with confidence, not guesswork.

Whether you're planning a quick weekend at the park's highlights or a full week exploring Many Glacier, Two Medicine, and the high alpine passes, this book gives you the tools to hike safely and see more.
