- Together, Glacier National Park in the U.S. and Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada hold the honor of being the world's first international peace park
- The 2 parks are designated by UNESCO as both a biosphere reserve and a World Heritage site, and they are recognized as Dark Sky Parks due to their remoteness
- The broader landscape around the parks—known as the Crown of the Continent ecosystem—is a laboratory for collaborative, transboundary conservation
- The region spans from high-peaked mountains to prairie, teeming with diverse plants and animals, making it a spectacular setting for hiking and outdoor recreation
- Map covers 18 diverse day hikes
- Booklet divides the parks into 6 regions for day hikes: North Fork, Lake McDonald, Two Medicine, Saint Mary & Logan Pass, Many Glacier, and Waterton Lakes & Goat Haunt
- Day hikes visit historical and natural sites like the century-old Sperry Chalet, the Continental Divide, waterfalls, glaciers, and glacially carved lakes and mountain valleys
- Hikes range in difficulty and distance to help hikers select the best trail for their timing, abilities and location within the parks
- Each hike includes a trail description, directions to trailhead, an elevation profile, total elevation gain and trail mileages
- Trail statistics are given in both imperial and metric units
- Map Guide booklet is more convenient and easier to use than folded maps but is just as compact and lightweight
- Every Trails Illustrated map is printed on "backcountry tough" waterproof, tear-resistant paper
