The Canadian Rockies Trail Guide - Softcover
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.

About the Author:
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.
Review:
"I met Brian Patton and Bart Robinson in the summer of 1970 when I was working as a mountain guide at Lake O'Hara and Brian and Bart showed up in the valley doing their initial research for what was to become the iconic "Trail Guide to the Canadian Rockies". The pair was walking every trail in the range, notebook in hand, pushing a measuring wheel and noting all the distances. This, I am sure, is the only time that this has ever been done and I feel comfortable in saying that every guidebook author since, has used Brian and Bart's trail distances. Their book is the original and, in my opinion, still the best." --Chic Scott
