Comprehensive Park Guide, Feb 21 2006
By Summer Y. Highfill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Frommer's Banff & Jasper National Parks (Paperback)
I have used the Canada guide in the past when visiting Banff, but this book provides more in depth coverage of the parks (Banff and Jasper). If your primary visit is to these places, I would recommend this book as an excellent guide!

This review is from: Frommer's Banff & Jasper National Parks (Paperback)
The Frommer's guide to Banff and Jasper had the expected information but somehow seemed less useful than Lonely Planet guides I have bought for other trips. I didn't like one of the places they recommended staying (Banff Caribou Lodge - nice on the outside but a tiny old guest room). It has hiking information but it just didn't seem very useful or in depth. I ended up relying on other tour guides picked up along the way to help pick out hikes.
