Worthless
I have spent 2 months combing this book trying to find something to help plan our trip. This book is worthless. I finally went out and bought Frommer's Guide to Montana and Wyoming and it gave me all the information I was looking for in 1 chapter. It answered all my questions with ease. This Insidier's Guide did not even have trail names listed. The Montana/Wyoming 2-state book with several national parks covered had all the trail names of GNP listed. This book should be taken off the shelves!!! .

Chamber of Commerce approach
Every restaurant, lodging, attraction, etc. I also found this book to be poorly organized. is "fantastic". With no critique whatsoever, one would think this book is written by the local chamber of Commerces. Almost worthless without this information.

Needs better focus and organization


Part of the problem is that this book if full of weird stuff. There is some interesting stuff in this book, but if you are trying to plan a trip, and want to look something up, well, it can be a challenge to find the information you want.

For example, there are two pages on nursing homes in the area.

The section on antique stores in the area around the National Park is several times as long as the section on hiking trails in Glacier National Park.

And the section on hiking trails in Glacier National Park is not in the section on Glacier National Park.

Much of the text is devoid of content, so that I did not enjoy the time spent browsing through this book to find the information we needed.
