The 10th edition includes:

• Descriptions of 225 Canadian Rockies hikes and routes plus dozens of side trips
• More than 250 colour photographs
• 34 colour topo maps
• Trail logs measured by “trail wheel”
• GPS co-ordinates for all trailheads
• Sources for information, maps, backcountry lodging, and transportation

Our Canadian Rockies hiking blog offers up-to-date trail information, hiking tips, and seasonal favourites updated by authors Brian Patton and Bart Robinson.
