Rocky Mountain National Park: The Complete Hiking Guide
ASIN: 1565791231 |
Book Description
Rocky Mountain National Park is the spiritual heart of the southern Rocky Mountains, an alpine domain as lush as it is austere, as friendly as it is intimidating. The grandeur of its mountain peaks, the profusion of flowering plant life, and ubiquity of creeks, cascades, and waterfalls creates a setting unique on our planet. Despite its three million annual visitors and its proximity to sprawling urban communities, Rocky Mountain National Park remains as natural and wild as any national park in the continental United States. This book offers a unique perspective--a look at the park one hundred years ago and a record of it today, as we approach the twenty-first century. It is about a place that exists not only on the map, but also in the hearts of the American people.
Through the eyes of John Fielder and the words of one of its finest nature writers, T. A. Barron, the majesty of Rocky Mountain National Park is revealed as never before. The historical photographs and writings of Enos Mills, founder of the park, lend rare insight into one of nature's last great places. Rocky Mountain National Park: A 100 Year Perspective is not just a book, but an enduring experience certain to renew your relationship with places natural and wild.

A Must for Fans of Mountain Photography.......2007-06-06
This is a thoroughly beautiful book, and it's unfortunate that it has gone out of print. One expects John Fielder's landscapes to be spectacular, and they are. I especially enjoyed seeing his takes on scenes that I was familiar with and had photographed myself. The surprise is the turn-of-the-century photos by Enos Mills, who almost single-handedly got the park established, and achieved wonderful results with his primitive camera (shown in one picture). Mills' writings are also fascinating, even more so than T.J. Barron's rather new-age musings. Well worth searching out, if you love Rocky Mountain National Park, or mountain photography in general.

This comprehensive guide covers more than 850 miles of trails.

Good reference guide.......2007-08-27
I used this, along with Best Easy Day Hikes to plan a trip to Glacier. I wouldn't necessarily use it as the only reference guide, but it was a good start and was helpful for mileage and difficulty ratings for each trail. I also generally do quite a bit of research for my trips on the internet. This did come in handy one day we were trying to fill an afternoon with a shorter hike, though. It was good to have more detailed information about each trail to assist in that decision.
One thing to be warned about at Glacier - especially if you go early in the season (we went 1st week of July)- information from Rangers is not always accurate or up to date. We were told several trails were closed due to snow that we found out too late weren't. We missed one very good hike due to this. We also were told the Highline trail would only take us a couple of hours. When we got to Granite Park Chalet (4.5 hours later) we found out the trail generally takes at least 4 hours. You will want to add in time for picture taking and possible traffic jams (by mountain goats and such) and if you go early in the season, crossing of snow fields. We also found out that several people were advised not to hike the Highline when we did due to some dangerous snow fields (narrow trail covered in slick snow with a sure to be dead drop off if you should slip). I guess my suggestion would be to ask several people instead of relying on advice from just one. It is a beautiful park that everyone should see once - I would recommend the Highline, Swiftcurrent, and Hidden Lake trails.

Outstanding Guide.......2005-03-15
I used this guide to plan a 16 day backpacking trip in and around Glacier National Park. I spent several months planning the trip during the winter, and of the 3 books I used, this was by far the best resource. When I left for my trip I ended up leaving all the other books at home, but I made sure that this book was in my pack. Molvar has done an outstanding job and it is apparent that he has spent quite a bit of time exploring this area.
Serviceable, Not Fantastic .......2004-08-04
Why is it that such a spectacular hiking location has so little documentation? Are there really only a couple viable guide books? Well, we selected this one, and while not our favorite format, it passed a fairly difficult pragmatic test. With 2/3 of the park closed due to fire we were still able to select outstanding hikes and make good comparative decisions with this book and a topo. The descriptions of the hikes are very good, the maps aren't bad (ridges are shaded and glaciers hatched, no topos) and the profiles (e.g. mileage vs elevation plots) provide very important information for a park where vertical gain is one of the central attractions and ridges must be traversed for nearly any destination. Photos are sparse and do not help as much as one would like with trail selection (few shots of destinations or views left me saying - `I have to see that, it will be well worth the 16 miles' - which is what I want from hiking guide photos) but on the whole this is a very serviceable book that was the primary guide to our great Glacier experience.
Not your best choice.......2004-02-29
This is a weak hiking guide on all fronts. Glacier is one of the most stunningly gorgeous places in North America, but you'd never know it from this book. The black and white photographs are indifferent, at best, and the driving descriptions to each trailhead leave much to be desired. I know your national thought is, "How can I get lost in a National Park?" Well, you can get lost using the driving routes contained in this book. There are few warnings about the perils of encountering a grizzly on the trail (I know, I've had this happen to me at Glacier). The author suggests carrying pepper spray, but against a 2,000 pound animal, that won't do the trick.
Glacier deserves better than this rather boring and amemic effort.
There are better choices.......2003-08-04
Written in the familiar Falcon Guide format with elevation profiles of hikes, but otherwise pretty bland. Vicky Spring's recreation guide to the park (from The Moutaineers series) is much better.
catalog only.......2003-07-28
While the imformation in this book is correct, one gets no sense whatsover of which hikes are recommended. This book is as interesting as telephone book. One must speak to someone who knows the Park to figure out what hike to go on.
Book Description
Waterton-Glacier International Peace Park is home to a vast network of hiking trails. But if you're only going to be in Glacier and Waterton national parks for a day or two, have time for only one or two short hikes, and you're looking for trails that are not too physically demanding, which trails should you choose? This book answers that question. Best Easy Day Hikes Glacier & Waterton Lakes contains short descriptions and maps of the author's favorite easy day hikes in Glacier and Waterton. All of the hikes in this little book are relatively short, on well-defined, easy-to-follow trails that take you to some of the area's most spectacular scenery—without taking you to physical extremes. Features 28 hikes.
Customer Reviews:
Very Helpful Trail Guide.......2007-06-25
Best Easy Day Hikes for Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks is a bit misleading as a title. While there are easy hikes, some are far from it. For example, one hike is nine miles long with a 1200-foot climb while another is over 14 miles long. Fortunately, the distances and elevation changes are clearly marked in the description so it is easy to select those you are willing and able to tackle while leaving the others for the more adventurous. There are also maps for each hike but it sometimes took me a while to use them. The actual trail wasn't always well defined within the larger area portrayed on the map and I often found the trailheads especially difficult to spot. It was not a major problem as I always worked it out in the end but it is an area that could use a bit of improvement.
There are 28 hikes listed and they are broken down into 5 geographic areas of the two parks. My wife and I did 2-3 hikes from each area and found the descriptions to be both helpful and largely accurate. The book is small enough to easily fit in a hip pocket and held up very well during a full week of heavy usage. Color photos would have been a nice addition but that would have made the book both larger and heavier which is not ideal for a pocket guide. Overall, this was a great purchase at an extremely reasonable price.
Very Good for the Money.......1999-12-12
Its construction is not as durable as one would like for a reference to carry with you while hiking, but what can one expect for that small an asking price? However, the descriptions and maps for each hike are easy to understand--even for the novice hiker. 25 easy hikes are included in the book, with distance, degree of difficulty, time required, and elevation change included. There are no pictures in the book, but still its very well done.
Customer Reviews:
Great book for hikes.......2003-08-04
Just got back from GNP and used this book extensively 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. 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??.......2003-02-28
Only the first twenty pages mention ANYTHING about recreation or facilities. The rest is simply a hiking guide. No color pictures.
No Color Photos.......2002-08-04
I bought this book along with the Falcon Guide book and was very disappointed with both books. This one offers good descriptions of the hikes and what to expect, but no color photos. 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.
The best all-around guide on Glacier NP........2001-09-05
I bought both this book and the Falcon Guide to Glacier NP. Although a little out of date, I really preferred this book. I found its hiking maps to be far superior -- they're drawings with dimension that gives you a really good idea of what the hike is going to be like, and the author actually expresses some opinions and preferences, which is rare in a guide book like this. Most important, I agreed with her judgements.
Glacier National Park and Waterton Lakes National Park.......2000-06-01
Nice size for backpack. Concise profiles of the various hiking, biking, skiing trails with needed info re length, difficulty, elevation gain, sights along the way as well as the locale of each. There are small maps to give you an idea of each trail and a selection of photos. Included in the intro are suggestions of where to stay, the amenities of the area and important safety tips.

A valuable guide for active travelers to Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks.......2007-06-11
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.
* A completely revised guide with lots of fun to-do's for kids
* 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. 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.......2004-06-03
There is only general info in here for facilities, accomodations and activities other than hiking. The title is deceptive. 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.
Book Description
You have not discovered Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks until you have stepped into the backcountry. Written by veteran outdoor author Erik Molvar, Hiking Glacier & Waterton Lakes National Parks, formerly The Trail Guide to Glacier & Waterton Lakes National Parks, covers every trail in both parks and takes hikers to glistening glaciers, mountain lookouts, peaceful lakes, and remote campgrounds in a remarkably diverse wilderness. The Glacier-Waterton Lakes complex has trails for everyone, ranging form two miles to thirty-eight miles and from strenuous to easy. The text includes mile-by-mile descriptions, easy-to-follow maps, and elevation charts, along with narratives on the geographic features you'll pass, the wildlife you might see, and the places you can camp, boat, fish, or simply explore. Hiking Glacier & Waterton Lakes National Parks also includes a fishing chart, a campground rating chart, and a special section on extended backpacking trips. This is a guidebook to put in your pack the next time you head into the untamed backcountry.

A definite must-have for planning a backpack in Glacier!!!.......1998-12-01
I used this book to help plan a backpacking vacation in Glacier National Park during summer 1998. I was very satisfied with the information and descriptions provided by Mr. Molvar. As I knew little about the park beforehand, planning this trip would have been nearly impossible without this book. Contains text, simple maps, elevation gain/loss charts, backcountry campground info and ratings, advice, warnings, etc. I can not say enough good things about this guidebook!

When National Geographic published its first Atlas of the World more than 35 years ago, the world was indeed a different place. In order to cover today's world--including its oceans, stars, climate, natural resources, and more--National Geographic has published its seventh edition of the Atlas of the World. With each new edition, National Geographic strives to make its atlas more than just maps. You'll learn that the coldest place in the world is the Plateau Station in Antarctica, where the average daily temperature is minus 56.7 degrees Celsius; the most populated continent is Asia, with more than 3.6 billion people, or 60.8 percent of the world's population; the driest place on earth is the Atacama Desert in Chile; a flight from New Delhi to Rio de Janeiro covers 14,080 kilometers; life expectancy in the Republic of Zambia is 37 years; and the literacy rate in Turkmenistan is 98 percent.
Flip through the pages of this impressive book and you will feel as though the world is literally at your fingertips. Full-page spreads are devoted to more than 75 political and physical maps (political maps show borders; physical maps show mountains, water, valleys, and vegetation). There are many new touches to be found in this edition, including increased usage of satellite images, an especially helpful feature when researching the most remote regions of the earth; more than 50 updated political maps that record the impact of wars, revolutions, treaties, elections, and other events; and the use of the latest research on topics such as tectonics, oceanography, climate, and natural resources. The sheer size of the atlas's index--134 pages--offers insight into just how much information is packed into 260-plus pages. The book is so physically large, in fact, that when it's open, the reader is staring at three square feet of information, a surface area larger than many television screens. The potential uses of this book for a family are vast, from settling a friendly argument to completing a school report. In the end, though, the atlas is still mostly about maps. Pages and pages of maps. Maps that force us to see how wonderful and dynamic our world is. Maps that remind us of where we've been and where we'd still like to go. --John Russell
Book Description
Combining state-of-the-art cartographic technology and information with dynamic and diverse physiographic and cultural content, the Eight Edition is National Geographic's most accurate and interesting record of the world yet. The opening section, Ninety Years of Mapping at National Geographic, traces the founding of Geographic cartography to the present advances in technology and the practice of compiling and organizing geographic information. The atlas truly begins with three stunning new, full-spread world maps, that drape Earth's surface seamlessly with satellite imagery, then physical and natural features, and finally today's political world of countries and growing cities.World thematic topics are organized into two groups: the Physical and Natural World and Human Activities. The Physical and Natural World section includes captivating core topics such as the evolution of earth, geology and tectonics, climate and weather, oceans, world water, the bioshere, and biodiversity. Human Activities covers 11 world themes: population, migration and refugees, conflict and terrorism, cultures, economy, energy and minerals, communications, food, health and education, the environment, and ending with wildlands. All of these intriguing spreads reflect the most authoritative and recent data available and are reviewed by preeminent scholars and experts. Lined up after the world thematic focus is the continental division. All seven continents open with views from space and are then represented with separate physical and political maps. Larger scale regions of each continent are presented for higher definition and detail. Because of our primary readership, additional coverage is given to the United States and Canada. An entirely new component to the Eighth Edition is the city section. Maps and text discussing urban explosion will open this compilation of sixty new maps. Pictures, fact boxes, and text will accompany each city map to create colorful and informative portraits of our built environment. Selected cites such as, New York, Mexico City-the most densely populated city in the world, and Paris will receive more detailed scaling. Less familiar and remote areas of the world and beyond-the poles, the ocean floors, and space-are mapped with new data and findings and dramatic effects. The addition of a new spread and map devoted to Mars will provide a timely reference to the expected news coverage of NASA's Mars Exploration Rover Mission-Spirit and Opportunity. Flags and facts of every country in the world have been newly designed and consolidated into one section, listed in alphabetical order. Locater maps and cross referencing to corresponding large-scale map plates are provided for every entity. Text for each independent country summarizes physical and cultural aspects, while facts reveal the status of population, religion, area, capital, language, literacy, life expectancy, GDP, and economy. A user-friendly, 136 page, comprehensive place-name index cross-references over 130,000 geographical sites and areas. An appendix presents valuable, convenient reference to time zones, metric conversions, foreign terms, abbreviations, airline distances, and temperature and rainfall statistics from all corners of the globe. Navigating throughout the atlas is made easy with enhanced cross-referencing, pointers, labels and an end sheet that includes a visual key with corresponding plate numbers to all the maps. Every map spread in the atlas will include interactive features and access to up-to-the-minute updates and information via the electronic National Geographic Map Machine. Streams of information are available to us on myriad topics and on many fronts. At the same time, there is a need-greater than ever-to better understand our global culture. The Eighth Edition helps bridges the gap with a collection of maps and information that is as engaging as it is informative.

Atlas of the World by National Geographic.......2005-12-01
This is a wonderful full-color book on the geography of the world.
The atlas has the following features:
- a map relief for all the major mountains
- green fonts for forestry
- highlighted waterways
- the ocean major currents
- bays highlighted
- the Isles of the Pacific i.e. Palau, Manihi, Lialtuka, Hiya Oa,
Santa Cruz, Kosrae
The North and South Pole is highlighted together with the
East and West Antartica and separate reliefs for the oceans.
The coloring is spectacular. This book would be perfect for the
student in your house.
National Geographic has made changes.......2005-06-16
In December 2004, National Geographic (NG) updated the Persian Gulf plate (Plate 75) to accomodate the controversies surrounding the place-names used in the 8th edition.
Here is my understanding of the changes made:
1. The term "Arabian Gulf" in parenthesis has been deleted. Instead, there is a small note that reads: "Historically and commonly known as the Persian Gulf, this body of water is also referred by some as the Arabian Gulf."
2. Persian names of all Iranian islands are used. (Kish instead of Qeys, Lavan alone instead of adding Sheykh Sha'eyb in parenthesis)
3. Deletion of "Occupied by Iran (Claimed by U.A.E.)" in reference to the islands Abu Musa, and Greater and Lesser Tunbs.
These changes already appear on the website (www.nationalgeographic.com/mapmachine) and will apply to further printings or editions of the NG Atlas. Also, on the password-protected website for NG Atlas owners, there is a "brief summary of the historical origin of the term Persian Gulf". There is also a note on the place-naming policy of NG. (The online update feature is great - you can download and/or print updated plates and put them in your atlas. This not new for NG Atlases, except that they used to send updates by mail.)
Overall, I am impressed with NG's response to this situation. I am also very impressed with the quality of the atlas and its contents, except for the outermost/superficial binding paper. I have had the atlas for about 6 months, and with moderate use, the paper around the bottom of the spine has frayed. The binding itself is intact, though.
Incredible Family Resource.......2004-12-02
I've had the new atlas for 60 days and find myself looking something up every 2-3 days. It's really been fun looking up remote places like Palmyra Atoll, Kerguelen Island, the Fly River and other obscure places I read about.
And now I've found an interesting use for the password protected online atlas as well. The online Atlas gives you high-resolution access to all the Atlas map plates. You can print, copy or email maps or portions of maps. I expect the online Atlas to come in handy for school projects.
If you've read through the reviews you'll know the Iranians are upset about the "renaming" of the Persian Gulf. OK, since I'm at work, I'll log in to the password protected Atlas website, pull up Plate 75 and take a look. The Persian Gulf is labeled "Persian Gulf" but underneath it in parentheses is the label "Arabian Gulf". Apparently "Arabian Gulf", even in parentheses, is an affront to Iranian pride.
I want to be fair on this so I decided to check out some other atlases at my local bookstore to see how they handle the Gulf label. Most of the atlases use the term Persian Gulf by itself, but several prominent, highly-rated Atlases use the label "The Gulf" with no Persian or Arabian modifier, so there is legitimate debate in the cartographic world about how to refer to this body of water. For nationalistic reasons the Iranians want it only to be called the Persian Gulf, but I suspect the other countries bordering the Gulf would disagree. Most people will continue to call it the Persian Gulf, and the NGS Atlas appropriately uses that name as the primary label.
However, Iran does not own the Persian Gulf, and if a different name is now used by millions of people, then you have to admire the NGS for including both labels and not bowing to pressure from any political group, unlike the Atlases that meekly call it "The Gulf". I sympathize with the Iranian's anger over what they perceive to be psychological warfare by the Arabs, but I would still prefer to know if an alternate name is in use locally, and that is what the NGS atlas provides. Geographic names evolve, and the NGS continues its strong history of providing up-to-date cartography.
The new NGS World Atlas is among the top two or three World Atlases available, and the discounted price from Amazon makes it a relative bargain, especially when you consider you also get an online Atlas that mirrors the printed edition.
I for one feel the maps in the NGS World Atlas are as accurate and beautiful as you will find anywhere and now they're available online as well. This is a great family resource.
Fantastic, but doesn't live up to all advertisements.......2004-10-21
With a limited number of printings and a three-digit price, you expect great things from National Geographic's Altas of the World. And, for the most part, the book delivers. In lieu of a long review, I though I'd just come up with some pros and cons to explain why I gave the book the rating I did.
Pros: amazing quality of pictures/maps, city maps, intresting nation and political information, wealth of information, built-in bookmark.
Cons: not 400 pages like amazon claims (137 pages sans index), index is almost as long as rest of book, will not fit in any bookcase you own, poor binding for such an expensive book, hard to fit back in cover.
The last atlas I owned was a child's atlas from 1987. I bought the National Geographic version because I took it to be the diffinitive atlas. And it is. I'm happy with the 8th edition and I'm sure it will be a usefull reference for years to come. But given how few pages it is and how much money it cost, I'm not sure I would buy the 9th edition.
Best general atlas.......2004-10-21
I have both the 7th and 8th editions of this book, as well as recent editions of most of the other major world atlases.
In my opinion, this latest (8th) edition blows away the competition (_and_ the National Geographic's own 7th edition).
Having bought and owned world atlases for almost 50 years, I strongly recommend this atlas for home, school, or library use. I find this latest edition exceedingly accurate, especially in the areas of the Middle East (*despite* the protestations from certain _very_ organized political factions <ahem>).
Magnificent satellite photos, along with revised and improved political and geo-physical maps, set this one apart from the rest. Much of the "supplemental" map sections of the previous edition are expanded.
Regarding the reviewer who indicated that the 7th edition is "cloth-bound": well, the 7th edition (that I own) actually has a *cloth-textured* dark blue *paper* overlay on hardboard. The internal hinges are "binders' mull" (cloth) _but_ so are those of the plastic-coated covers of the 8th edition! Both editions should hold up very well. The main difference in the covers is the aesthetics, and the 8th edition is indeed quite pleasing in that department.
I most highly recommend the 8th edition of this atlas, and you certainly won't go wrong if you purchase it from Amazon.
A great addition to the panoply of atlases, and a huge treat for addictive map lovers!

An excellent coming of age book for young women........1999-11-20
This has been a very special favorite book of mine for over 25 years. Betty Cavanna writes with wonderful caring and sensitivity of a young girl's struggles with the absence of her mother (died), her red hair and freckles, and a remote father at the critical time of turning 16. And then there is the collie - a runt turned unexpected champion through loving care! It's a book I have passed on to cousins and neices for years. I hope you will love it as much as I do.
