Just west of Apgar, tucked behind the Fish Creek Campground and Picnic Area, lies a short hike to a unique vantage of Lake McDonald. This short, lollipop-shaped loop takes you through both mature and recently burned forests, along creeks, and out to rocky outcroppings. The Rocky Point Nature Trail does have a short section of[…]
A quick drive from the West Entrance of Glacier National Park takes you to the head of Lake McDonald where McDonald Creek empties into it. The McDonald Creek Trail works its way up the playful creek, in an easy-going fashion with ample views of the crystal clear water. The trail begins as a level, ADA[…]
Despite the smoke from fires in the west hanging in the air, we decided to head out to the Two Medicine area to hike Scenic Point, a favorite of ours. While the smoke affected the views somewhat, it also kept the day a bit cooler. We ended up seeing ample wildflowers, picked some huckleberries, and[…]
Welcome to 2021! Amongst all of the craziness of the infamous 2020, we embarked on building a new house. You haven’t heard anything from Hike 734 at all because of that. Now that we are getting close to completing the house, I’ll be moving into my new office and will start editing the pile of[…]
In Yosemite National Park, Mirror Lake draws many visitors due to its very accessible trail and the chance to see Half Dome perfectly reflected in the water. The loop around this beautiful valley up and down Tenaya Creek is a popular one with Yosemite’s visitors. Very few hardy souls brave the steep switchbacks along Snow[…]
If you head west from Apgar in Glacier National Park and cross over McDonald Creek, the first road on your right is called Grist Road. Along this quaint road are a collection of private inholdings. The road dead-ends and one of Glacier’s few “bike-able” trails continues on to the Fish Creek Campground Road. I wouldn’t[…]
Day Hikes of Glacier National Park Map Guide ($11.95)
reviewed by Joy
My husband and I visited Glacier National Park in both 2016 and 2017. I had ordered the Day Hikes map guide on GNP and it was absolutely the best resource for planning our visit. We are in our 60's and have recently taken up hiking in various locations and I wish Jake would do more guides in the US ! I also have recently ordered the guide maps for Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons and Zion National Park which we will be visiting the next couple of years. The product is very thorough and we can easily plan the hikes, knowing what to expect and helping us plan the best hike for what we will accomplish each day. The durability of the product is remarkable, having lasted through 2 separate vacations. Thanks, Jake for such a great product.

Day Hikes of Yellowstone National Park Map Guide ($11.95)
reviewed by Melanie
I bought this map and when Jake's map of the Grand Tetons came out, I ordered that one, too. As others have indicated, this map is incredibly informative and easy to use. I bought numerous books in anticipation of our trip to Yellowstone and the Tetons. In addition to the books I purchased, I have Pinterest boards, and OneNote notebooks full of information. Turns out, I can ditch all of that stuff and just use Jake's maps. I couldn't be happier. I HIGHLY recommend these maps!

Day Hikes of Grand Teton National Park Map Guide ($11.95)
reviewed by Melanie
I bought this map along with the Day Hikes of Yellowstone National Park Map Guide for an upcoming trip and I couldn't be happier. These maps, along with Jake's hike reviews on YouTube, have helped me tremendously in the planning of our trip. I have purchased a handful of other guide books for the area, but these maps are going to be my go to resources while in GTNP and Yellowstone. I particularly appreciate that each hike has a description, they are color coded by area, organized by distance, and of course, ranked in order of Jake's recommendations. All of this info on a map that takes up very little room in my daypack. Jake, thank you very much for putting these maps together. I truly appreciate the effort that went into making them and I feel much more prepared for our trip because of them.

Great map. Guidance is spot on and nice to have an insiders view. Would highly recommend it. The combo pack that includes the going to the sun ROAD tips is worth the extra as well. Glacier is truly one of the top parks in the US. Looking forward to a more time there.

Going-to-the-Sun Road Driving Guide ($9.95)
reviewed by Roger Chesser
There is a lot of information available about the Going-to-the-Sun Road and yet very little on the actual pull outs and their locations. This map fills that void. Other sources give you basic location but this guide gives you actual mileage distances. It contains great descriptions of all the sites, not just the major stops. Fantastic!

I can't tell you how many times I've consulted this map - not just while I'm in the Park, but many times when I'm at home and identifying locations in photographs I have taken. It's sturdy, easy on the eyes, and a valuable tool for any visitor to Glacier National Park.
