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. **Mountaineers Books designates 1 percent of the sales of select guidebooks in our Day Hiking series toward volunteer trail maintenance and conservation. For this book, our 1 percent of sales is going to Montana Wilderness Association . [Theisen] highlights the Mission and Swan ranges and the Cabinet Mountains, plus a core of more than 20 delectable hikes in Glacier Park. The “At a glance” chart at the front of the book helps readers sort out the easy hikes from the thigh-burners and seek out other attractions such as fishing, waterfalls and pet-friendly treks. Maps with GPS-generated tracks detail each route. -- Rich Landers ― The Spokesman-Review Aaron Theisen is an accomplished outdoor and travel writer and photographer.
