Description
Written by local author Jean Arthur, Top Trails: Glacier National Park leads visitors to secluded trails and unique settings while providing details of current and past human activity, wildlife movement, and geologic changes that altered the landscape and created America's tenth national park. The unique approach of Top Trails: Glacier National Park reveals the best trails that wind alongside sensitive meadows and climb above crystalline lakes and leads hikers to backcountry respites unique to Glacier. The guide also traces outlaws, poachers, and mining ventures that occurred inside the current park boundary.
Author Biography
Jean Arthur hiked 400 miles of Glacier's trails during 2012 and 2013, retracing routes she's been hiking for 30 years, and spent hours with park historians, Blackfeet Indian guides, and in libraries among historic collections of Glacier's artifacts. She lives in Bozeman, MT.
Reviews"An unforgettable day in the park only takes a little planning and a little help, which is where former Whitefish resident Jean Arthur comes in." —Brianna Loper, Whitefish Pilot
