Day Hikes of Glacier National Park Map Guide

Easy way to get all the information you need about hiking Glacier N.P. A map of the park and all the hikes listed with mileage and the effort needed to do them. The author has a list, in order, of his favorite hikes in the park. Comes in a folded map format with hikes numbered and located on the map. Thick water resistant paper that with a little care should last a long time. I have found hiking books, which I have several of, a bit confusing, and would then transfer what I had read to a list of hikes I would do. This has it all in a simple and easy to choose from guide, very happy with this purchase and I recommend it to others.

I'm really happy I ordered this! So happy that I decided to write a review which I seldom do.The guide is a large map printed on waterproof and tear resistant paper. One side shows the park with its roads, etc. That same side also shows where all the trails are. The bonus is that the author has hiked all the trails and has listed the hikes from favorite to least favorite. So, when you look at the map, you see areas where the hikes are with a number. You look at the side of that same page and are able to find out the name of a particular hike, the distance, how well he liked it etc. The back side of the map goes into more detail about each of the hikes. Here they're organized by hike length, but the section of the park where the trail is is also included.The guide is incredibly helpful for deciding what hikes to do and where to stay!

Love how this is laid out! I can’t do extremely long hikes, but want to do as many short-medium as possible. This guide not only tells the length of each hike and where they are located in the park, but Jake ranks them! Makes it so easy to pick the best, which is especially nice since I will probably not be able to visit again for quite a few years.

Great guide, the descriptions of the hikes really help you identify what you care to see and how hard you care to trek. There are so many, prioritizing with the map ahead of the trip helped up maximize our adventures over a week in the park. They have them in just about every gift/camp shop too. Pro tip for your trip: get up early and beat the crowds.

The Glacier NP trip is in the planning phase now, but- the map is the best I have in a very long time! I am NP lover, last year visited 4 of US NP; for planning and hiking I've used several maps from several sources (including NatGeo) and I was disappointed- even major trails were missing, it was hard to to figure out the difficulties of the trail. Here- it is all clearly marked, easy to plan (every hike is color-coded for different difficulty-level at different sections of the hike!). I am a cartographer by personal interest and education; this map is GREAT!!! This is more than a map- this is also a condensed travel guide! LOVE IT!!!

We used this map everyday to plan our hike for the day. Well organized by location, length of the trail, and appeal. The trail ranking was immensely valuable on choosing our trail. There are many choices of trails in Glacier, but only a limited amount of time, so I am glad that we had some guidance to maximize our experience. A must have for your backpack.

If you are going to Glacier National Park, this is a necessity. Though I mostly use the GPS-based apps while hiking on the trails themselves, this map was indispensable for the family choosing what hikes to go on each day, and for getting a perspective as to where things are in the park. And it was particularly useful as you don't have cellular service in much of the park, so you always have this. My teenage kids loved it, they spent a surprising amount of time pouring over it each evening. Highly recommend it.

This map was the backbone of my trip to Glacier. It helped me and my friend plan our whole itinerary. It’s awesome how it gives a very detailed description of each trail on the backside and where it corresponds to on the front side of the map. The ONLY complaint I had about this map was a hike that we took where it ended up being a way longer hike than we anticipated. The guide was misleading about it and gave the length of the trail based on if you took the boat to cut off distance on your trip. But other than that, this map was excellent. I had never been to Glacier before and it was easy to understand and follow. I would recommend this map to anyone!
