Product Description

Review
"America's finest travel guidebook series . . . extensively researched, engagingly written, intelligently indexed, and packed with helpful maps and sidebars."

Product Description
Stunning mountains, alpine lakes, shimmering glaclers, and abundant wildlife await the visitor to the Canadian Rockies, one of North America's premier travel destinations. This four-season area has much to offer travellers and Andrew Hempstead's Moon Handbooks Canadian Rockies is the resource to uncovering its hidden treasures. Five parks are found in the Canadian Rockies-Banff, Jasper, Kootenay, Yoho, and Waterton Lakes-each filled with miles of hiking and skiing trails, hundreds of campsites, and numerous lake and rivers. Visitors can explore the world-famous Burgess Shale, home of many fossils; brave rafting the plunge on the Kicking Horse River; or sample regional Rocky Mountain cuisine- caribou, moose, and elk. This revised edition includes measurements in both the imperial and metric systems; an expanded accommodations section; helpful sidebars on cutting flight costs or finding great hotels rooms for less; as well as website listings for many destinations. After a day in the field, hit the bars and pubs of Canmore and Banff, or soak in the luxuriant waters of Radium Hot Springs. Informative, practical, and inspiring, Moon Handbooks Canadian Rockies is an essential guide to planning a trip to this awe-inspiring part of the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very thorough guide to the Canadian Rockies, 21 May 2002
By A Customer
As a Canadian now living in London, I love reading about my homeland and picked up this book in my local book store. After a recent trip home, I have no qualms about recommending it as the premier source of information to Banff and surrounding parks. Everything you need is included and all listings I used were accurate. Hotel prices have risen a bit since it was published and summer rates in Banff are outrageous, but websites are listed so I was able to get current pricings using the book anyway. I was pleased to find lots of unbiased information which is impossible from the internet or tourism offices. With an itinerary in place before my wife and I left home, I pre-booked accommodations in this book, then highlighted nice sounding restaurants and the hikes we felt best suited to us. We were never disappointed in the author's recommendations, and undoubtedly saved as much as the book cost in our very first night by following his insightful tips on saving money when booking local motels. In Jasper, we noticed a tour guide refering to this book while his party was dining at a nearby table. Need I say more!

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 13 Mar 2002
By A Customer
I used this book for a recent trip to Canada and found it extremely helpful and up to date in all regards. I booked accommodation's using this book before leaving and without exception found each to be accurately described. It's obvious the author has visited each place and is able to make unbiased comments. He also makes suggestions for dining, hiking and other activities in the same detailed and accurate format.

In my experience, most travel books contain just basic information that anyone could find in a phonebook or at a local visitor centre. This book is most definitely superior to others I've used and worth its weight in gold.
