Great book for hikes
Great descriptions and format allow you to quickly narrow in on the best choices for the time you have and area of the park you are at. Just got back from GNP and used this book extensively for hikes. Also has a number of good descriptions of bike paths, although the author's advice on biking along Going-To-The-Sun Road (p. 66) is really a bad idea. It's way too narrow and congested to be safe for bikes.

Complete??
The rest is simply a hiking guide. Only the first twenty pages mention ANYTHING about recreation or facilities. No color pictures.

No Color Photos
This one offers good descriptions of the hikes and what to expect, but no color photos. I bought this book along with the Falcon Guide book and was very disappointed with both books. A nice general overview of the hike, length, elevation change, difficulty, and some color photos of the highlights were all I wanted, and neither book fit this description. You would only need one or the other, and really either would suffice, but if you want color photos pass on both.
