Book excerpt: Popular hiking series now available for one of the nation’s most-visited national parks Compact, attractive, two-color format with a full-color photo insert 125 awe-inspiring hikes throughout the storied “Glacier Country” region Both Glacier National Park and the surrounding wilds of Western Montana are beloved by millions of visitors, new transplants, and long-time locals alike. A deep enthusiasm for nature is the common denominator and Day Hiking: Glacier National Park & Western Montana has been written for these folks. This new guidebook features 125 hikes, with outings to suit all ages and fitness levels. While the national park forms the centerpiece, the guide covers the major recreation areas throughout Western Montana. Weekend-worthy wilderness hikes await explorers in: the 100,000-acre Cabinet Mountains Wilderness, where alpine lakes hide among amid sheer shelves of rock; the Scotchman Peaks, which house millennia-old trees beneath their rugged, brushy summits; the shallow, grass-fringed pools of Ten Lakes Scenic Area, just shy of the Canadian border in northwest Montana; and the jeweled basins of the Seeley–Swan Valley.
