As we go to press with this book, the United States is in the early
stages of conversion to the metric system of measurement, and though
we urge you to think metric—for most of the world does—we provide
this table to help you understand the measurements given in the
book.

About the Author
Greg Beaumont’s interest in Glacier National Park dates from 1963,
when he was a summer employee at Lake McDonald Lodge. In 1966 he and
his wife were fire-control lookouts on Numa Ridge in the Bowman
Valley. Now a free-lance writer-photographer, he lives with his
family in Lincoln, Nebraska.
