Does exactly what it says on the tin! Another great publication from Lonely Planet. I just love the layout and the ease of finding what you're looking for. Plus as usual it's packed with useful, informative, helpful information!

I must admit I was disappointed with book. Years ago when I and my husband backpacked, we used the Lonely Planet guides like a bible as we made our way through Europe and Africa; they were very informative, detailed and the imagery was fantastic and inspiring.
I am not sure if it is just this one edition or if it is now the standard of all Lonely Planet books. However we found this book to be very hit and miss with its information, the details sketchy at best and no imagery to inspire exploration. I took it with us, looked at it on the plane and then became disillusioned. The first hotel we stayed in and had internet access, I planed our trip with what available was on-line ... and we had a fantastic time.
Sorry to say I would never by a Lonely Planet again. I was thoroughly disappointed.

OK, but could have more details
21 Jan 2012
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I have a large library of travel books and picked this one up as a new edition travel book covering the area, which I plan to visit this year. I also have Moon books on the same region that are several years old, so I hoped getting a newer version from a different perspective would be insightful.
Unfortunately, it seems that the book tries to cover such a large region, that there are few actual details on many places as compared to the Moon books. For example, I am looking at visiting Kootenay National Park and it has but 3 small paragraphs of coverage.
It is well organized and if you want a nice read on the breadth of the larger area, it is fine, but if you want some deeper details to help plan a trip, it is a bit lacking. For that reason, I give it 3 stars.
