I’ve lived on the East Coast my entire life, and only got to visit the Rockies in the last few years, since my daughter moved to Montana. Oh my, so beautiful! I chose this book to help me remember what I have seen of Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks. I learned things I hadn’t noticed during my visits, and I am intrigued by descriptions of the Rocky Mountain parks I have yet to visit. The writing is clear and informative without feeling too dense. This book helped me relive my experience. If you’re curious about the Rockies or planning a visit, this is a great companion to have along the way.

The mix of well-known landmarks and lesser-known spots kept me curious, and the trail details with elevation and difficulty helped me picture what to expect. I was surprised by how much cultural context was included, like stories behind certain formations and old camp traditions. It left me feeling inspired to plan a trip and see these places with new eyes.
