Canadian Rockies Trail Guide (7th Edition)

The definitive book 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.

Local authors and keen hikers Brian Patton and Bart Robinson have lived in the Canadian Rockies for over 30 years. Since the publication of the first edition of the Canadian Rockies Trail Guide, they have written extensively about the natural and human history of the region.
