Product Description

Product Description

Completely updated, this new edition of Frommer′s British Columbia & the Canadian Rockies will show you the best of Vancouver, the hottest destination in North America, where you can enjoy cutting–edge Asian–fusion cuisine and experience firsthand its vibrant arts and nightlife scene. Then we′ll take you into some of the most spectacular, unspoiled countryside on the continent, where you can enjoy whale watching, sea kayaking, canoeing, wildlife viewing, downhill skiing, wine tasting, hiking, biking, and more.

In the Rockies, you′ll get full coverage of gorgeous Banff and Jasper National Parks, and we′ll also take you to the glowing glacial waters of Lake Louise. Our authors have traveled every inch of this vast region, and they′ve chosen the best places to stay: wilderness lodges, guest ranches, elegant B&Bs, mom–and–pop motels, secluded campgrounds, and luxury resorts. With Frommer′s in hand, it′s a snap to design the Canadian adventure that′s right for you.

I bought this book knowing that it would not have pictures but would have lots of useful information and clear maps because I have been impressed with others in the series. I am not disappointed. The book is clearly laid out and contains lots of helpful information about the area covered, including recommendations on hotels and places to eat.

I would recommend it to anyone wanting a detailed coverage of the area, but you do have to look elsewhere to see photos of the places described.

This is the best guide book we have ever ploughed through.
Clear and concise descriptions which are honest, informative and to the point.
Fantastic clear layout.
We cannot wait to actually visit BC having read this and used it to plan our trip for next month.
WIsh all guide books were so easy to read and plan from.

I bought this book to assist me with my trip to British Columbia - I wanted to plan my drive from Vancouver to Jasper, Banff and the Glacier parks - whilst viewing all of the spectacular scenery along the way and finding places to stay in these areas.

This guide is probably factually accurate, but there is not a single photo, illustration or diagram relating to any of the hotels or attractions (ie, Lake Louise, Lake Moraine, Rocky Mountains, Glaciers, Wildlife etc) Personally, if I am going to travel for hours and drive for miles to see a particular lake, I want some assurance that it is as beautiful as it has been described - and this is where pictures are useful.

I believe that most people who purchase a travel guide will want to flick through it for ideas of places to go and places to stay. If they see an interesting picture - they will pause to read the information relating to that picture and decide whether they want to vist that attraction or not. This guide is pure text from front to back - I think I've read about 3 pages and now I'm bored with it.

The information contained within the book IS very useful - there is lots of information about places to stay, prices, things to do and see etc, but where is the visual stimulation to make you want to bother reading all that text? This book is supposed to be a "guide", but it's more like a novel!
