Hiker's opinion

I've had this book for more than ten years and find it more valuable every time I plan a trip to Glacier. I'm not a climber but really enjoy off trail hiking. Edward's route descriptions between peaks and access routes are simply fantastic compared to anything else available. The park has changed a lot but every route I've tried from the book is actually there - with a little route finding - and always an adveture. My copy is highlighted, worn, and full of post-its. If you enjoy Glacier and off trail exploring buy this book. Its not a trail guide but it has really enhanced my enjoyment of the park.

An essential for Mountaineers who visit Glacier!

This guide covers most of the peaks in the park. Many of the mountains not covered here are at least mentioned and Edwards proclaims the apparent ease of these climbs. My experience agrees with this surmission. I have been on the mountains of the park with, and without the guide. When the guide was in possession, the climb was greatly simplified. Well done and a must for those interested in climbing mountains in Glacier National Park!
