About the Book
Writer, editor, and avid outdoorswoman Becky Lomax offers an insider’s perspective on Glacier National Park, where she once worked shredding lettuce in the kitchen so she could hike nearly 300 miles of park trails during her free time. From hiking through multi-color meadows filled with wildflowers to observing the Sperry Glacier, a victim of global warming that will vanish in less than two decades, Lomax knows the best ways to enjoy the park’s one million acres of wilderness. She also includes unique trip strategies for travelers with specific interests and restrictions, including a “Wildlife-Watching” tour and a whirlwind “One Day in Glacier” tour. Whether it’s biking up Going-to-the-Sun Road or watching a grizzly forage in huckleberries, Moon Glacier National Park gives travelers the tools they need to create a more personal and memorable experience.

About Becky Lomax
During college, Becky Lomax worked two summers for Glacier Park, Inc., in Glacier Park Lodge’s kitchen, shredding lettuce for salads as an excuse to hike. While the sum total of her earnings tallied less than $300 that first summer, she walked away having hiked nearly 300 miles of the park’s trails. Seasonal jobs attracted Becky: Winter work included Big Mountain Ski Resort followed by Glacier Nordic Center, and summer jobs followed with the forest service and guiding in Glacier National Park. She has worked as a hiking and backpacking guide in Glacier since 1997.
Becky is a frequent contributor to regional magazines, such as Flathead Living, Montana Magazine, and Montana Outdoors, and also writes for Backpacker and copy edits for Cross Country Skier. She lives in Whitefish, MT.
