Worthless July 21, 2006 4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book is worthless. I have spent 2 months combing this book trying to find something to help plan our trip. 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 March 4, 2006 7 out of 7 found this review helpful
I also found this book to be poorly organized. Every restaurant, lodging, attraction, etc. 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 August 17, 2005 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
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.
Part of the problem is that this book if full of weird stuff.
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.
Mistitled and misleading July 11, 2004 20 out of 20 found this review helpful
I was looking for a guide on Glacier National Park. This book enticed me by its title. Insiders' guide to Glacier National Park, however it should be renamed: Insiders guide to the Flathead Valley and one chapter on Glacier National Park. If you're interested in finding waterslide parks for the kids, 100 miles from the park entrance, this book is for you. If you're like me and would like a good book about exploring the national park itself, find another book.
Covers Too Much Territory June 15, 2004 15 out of 16 found this review helpful
I returned this book after two days. It tries to cover too much territory, especially on the towns around the parks and all their hotels and restaurants. I was much more interested in the parks themselves, not the "Wild West" towns in the area. Offers only cursory information on plants and animals and nothing worth noting on hiking, etc.
