Synopsis

Gem Trek's Canadian Rockies Map is the most accurate, up to date, and bestselling map to the Canadian Rockies region of Canada.

To make seeing the sights easier, 29 of the best points of interest in Banff, Jasper, Yoho, and Kootenay Natiopnal Parks are numbered and described. To help you find your way around, mountain lodges, campgrounds, hot springs, golf courses, ski resorts, day use areas, visitor centres and highway viewpoints are labelled. A mileage chart helps you plan your day by giving distances between major towns.

On the back of the main map are street maps of Banff, Jasper, and Lake Louise. Inset maps of Western Canada and Calgary show major roadways, so you can easily find your way to the Canadian Rockies. In addition to street maps on the reverse side, we have included charts showing amenities at the national park campgrounds in each of the parks.
