Book Description

Publication Date: April 15 2007
The definitive guide for hiking in the Canadian Rockies. Hikers affectionately refer to the Canadian Rockies Trail Guide as "the Bible." When it was published in 1971, it was the first guidebook with accurate distances and detailed descriptions to the trails of the Canadian Rockies.

The current edition covers more than 3,400 kilometres of trails in Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay and Waterton Lakes National Parks, plus the provincial parks of Mt. Assinboine, Mt. Robson, Akamina-Kishinena, Peter Lougheed, and Elk Lakes. Trail distances, elevation gains and junction mileages are given with well-written descriptions.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one guide to buy Nov 23 2003
By Lawrence Hutchings
Format:Paperback
If you are buying only one trail guide for the Canadian Rockies, this is the one to get. The current seventh edition has been reprinted with revisions in 2002 and is still the only trail guide that includes all of the mountain national parks as well as some trails in adjoining provincial parks. The trails listed for the Kananaskis area (Peter Lougheed Provincial Park) are limited in number but are a good selection for visitors with limited time.

5.0 out of 5 stars How many editions of this book do you own? Aug 13 2001
By Jonathan Crowe
Format:Paperback
This book is the standard reference to hiking trails in the national parks of the Canadian Rockies. It's so indispensable that experienced hikers will often have multiple editions of this book, in order to stay current.

This edition, the seventh, is a more comprehensive revision than usual. Coverage has been expanded to include several provincial parks (including Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in the Kananaskis area, a welcome and overdue addition). There are more maps, and they've been redone: trails are numbered for easy reference. Plus updates and revisions throughout. Owners of previous editions will find it worthwhile to get this one as well.

As with previous editions, the interior photos are black and white and the package is by no means flashy, but this is a reference to be sworn by and used. It's always better to see the mountains close up, anyway. Pack this book along with your topo maps. I wouldn't be caught dead on a trail in Banff National Park without it!

2.0 out of 5 stars Canadian Rockies Trail Guide July 14 2011
By Ron J.
Format:Paperback
The ninth edition (2011) is out and is great. I bought it for $24.95 Canadian at a book store in Banff National Park. It was the suggested retail price. Why purchase an old version?
