A valuable guide for active travelers to Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks

* USGS map information and trail profiles
* Informative sidebars and trip finders

In 1932, Glacier National Park in Montana and Waterton Lakes National Park in Alberta, Canada were joined together to create the world's first International Peace Park. This is the newest guide for the whole family that wants to hike or backpack 70 of the best trails through the combined US/Canadian national parks of Glacier and Waterton Lakes, now Glacier-Waterton International Peace Park. More than a political union, the park was created in recognition that the beautiful, rare, and delicate ecosystems of the northern Rockies shouldn't end at national or political boundaries.

From nature walks and short hikes to glute-burning backpacking trips, this book showcases 70 of the best trails. Each area of the park is accompanied by a trip finder, which shows the difficulty of specific routes and the special highlights of each trail. This new edition also has more complete information blocks with USGS map information and trail profiles.

Mistitled - use it as a hiking guide
The title is deceptive. There is only general info in here for facilities, accomodations and activities other than hiking. On the positive side, it has useful maps and data for hikes all of which include a graph showing the altitude change along the path.
