About the Author
Becky Lomax was three years old when her parents took her to stay with friends in Glacier. After that, she was hooked—the park lured her back again and again.
During college, Becky worked two summers in the Glacier Park Lodge kitchen, sitting in the walk-in cooler on hot days to peel carrots. Her wages were converted promptly to backpacking gear, including boots that tread more than 300 miles of the park’s paths that first summer.
After working as a high school English teacher for many years outside Seattle, Becky decided to return to the park she loved so much. She and her husband moved to the town adjacent to Glacier, where she worked for a decade as a hiking and backpacking guide, leading many first-time Glacier visitors to her favorite haunts—Gunsight Pass, Fifty Mountain, and Cosley Lake. She also served on staff at Granite Park Chalet, reveling in seeing wolverines and bagging the peaks nearby in her free time.
Currently, Becky works as the western editor for OnTheSnow.com, reporting on the news for ski resorts. She writes frequently for regional newspapers and magazines as well, and has published stories in national travel magazines, including Smithsonian and Backpacker.
Becky lives with her husband in Whitefish, Montana.

I purchased this guide book for info on hikes, sites, camping and biking in the part. It was very current and up to date. It gave me all the info I needed and more. I found it very helpful. We would not have had as good a trip to Glacier without it. It really helped us in planning our week. We hiked and biked every day. We found good sites in all the campgrounds by knowing which ones filled up early. I would highly recommend it.

The book is a wealth of knowledge for the first time visitor to the park. The book is for all people, not just the casual vacationer to the national park. I would strongly advise purchasing the book prior to going to the park!

This little book is packed with more information about Glacier National Park than you will ever be able to soak in. From planning your routes to the best trails to hike, this book has it all. Easy to read and small enough to carry in your backpack.

Well organized and easy to use. One of the daunting task about planning a trip to Glacier is the overwhelming amount of information that's available in print and the Internet. It's a little bit like planning a trip the Disney World for the first time. This book is very helpful in that it divides the park into the specific regions, and allows you to plan your trip based on which region you want to travel in. It lays out lodging, hiking, and activities in each of the key regions. Since the park is so huge this is a great way to approach planning your trip. As a first time traveler to Glacier, this is the first book I found that really made sense and allowed me to begin planning for a weeklong vacation. The book is a handy travel size to bring along. Some of the information in each of the sections is a little redundant.
Thank you for your feedback.
