About the Author
Having grown up around the cliffs of Cornwall, wandering around in high places has become something of a habit for Oliver. He's since explored the trails of countries all over the globe, including the United States, New Zealand, France, Corsica, Scotland, Austria and the South Pacific, but he's never found anywhere that can measure up to the Canadian Rockies. Obviously he jumped at the chance to write the second edition of this book, and seems to have come through relatively unscathed despite the obstacles posed by high-altitude thunderstorms, a recalcitrant compass and a potentially nasty episode with an enraged marmot. He's currently back in the UK working on other projects, but hopes to get back to Canada as soon as the snows thaw.

This review is from: Lonely Planet Banff, Jasper and Glacier National Parks 3rd Ed.: 3rd Edition (Paperback)
This Book is more for Hikers, Bikers and Campers, rather than the average tourist. As such,however, it is very detailed and complete!

Lonely Planet offers the best up-to-date information for the first time traveler. Lots of options- best things to see and do in each area. We have a very limited time to visit and now we can choose the things that appeal to us.

Well Worth Buying - Even in The Age of TripAdvisor and Yelp,
By Andrew "Andrew the Cook" - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Lonely Planet Banff, Jasper and Glacier National Parks 3rd Ed.: 3rd Edition (Paperback)
It's easy to think that TripAdvisor and Yelp are all you need to plan a trip, particularly to a popular destination like the Canadian Rockies. But this book reminded me of the usefulness of a well-written, recently updated travel guide.This is the first Lonely Planet I've purchased in about 5 years, and the first I've purchased for such a well-traveled destination. It's great to see that the series is still doing well. Thanks to the guide's advice we've changed our hotel reservations to cheaper, better accommodations, modified our itinerary to include a few out-of-the way spots we wouldn't have likely otherwise discovered and generally improved our plans for our upcoming trip. User-powered review sites to a great job of finding a few stand-out locations, but this guide goes beyond that with a broader and more in-depth look at places to stay, things to do and (perhaps most importantly) things to eat in the park - not to mention history and context you'll never find on Yelp or TripAdvisor. Plus - with this guide in hand on your trip, you won't have to worry about finding cell-service on your iPhone so that you can remember the name of that great little restaurant you were planning to stop at. Do yourself a favor, if you're headed to Banff, Jasper or Glacier - even if you've been there before - get this book. |
