Through Glacier Park: Seeing America First with Howard Eaton

A three‑hundred‑mile horseback journey across the rugged heart of Glacier National Park unfolds as a vivid portrait of early‑20th‑century trail life. The narrative follows a mixed company of men and women—seasoned outdoorsmen and eager novices—who trade city comforts for camp‑fires, cold mountain streams, and nights beneath endless stars. Along the way, readers hear the clatter of hooves over alpine passes, the quiet patience of fishing on pristine lakes, and the occasional encounter with wildlife that reminds them how small we are in the vast wilderness.

Beyond the breathtaking scenery, the account offers practical guidance for anyone tempted by the road: how to pack, ride, and endure the first few unsteady days before the rhythm of the saddle becomes second nature. It’s a celebration of the simple, physical act of travel, inviting listeners to feel the pull of the mountains and the camaraderie that forms when strangers become a tight‑knit party on the trail.
