Revised and reprinted in 2015, and with sales of over 260,000 copies, the Canadian Rockies Trail Guide is one of best-selling non-fiction books in Canadian publishing history. Hikers affectionately refer to this hiking guidebook as *the Bible.* When it was published in 1971, it was the first book with accurate distances and detailed descriptions to the hiking trails of the Canadian Rockies. The 9th edition covers more than 3,400 km (2100 miles) of hiking trails in Banff, Jasper, Yoho, Kootenay and Waterton Lakes National Parks, plus the provincial parks of Mt. Assiniboine, Mt. Robson, Akamina-Kishinena, Peter Lougheed, and Elk Lakes. The 9th edition includes: * Descriptions of 229 Canadian Rockies hikes and routes plus dozens of side trips * More than 150 photographs * 40 maps * Trail logs measured by *trail wheel* * GPS co-ordinates for all trailheads * Sources for information, maps, backcountry lodging, and transportation * Competitive pricing: Other hiking guides to the Canadian Rockies sell for up to $36.95.

This edition, the seventh, is a more comprehensive revision than usual. Coverage has been expanded to include several provincial parks (including Peter Lougheed Provincial Park in the Kananaskis area, a welcome and overdue addition). There are more maps, and they've been redone: trails are numbered for easy reference. Plus updates and revisions throughout. Owners of previous editions will find it worthwhile to get this one as well.
As with previous editions, the interior photos are black and white and the package is by no means flashy, but this is a reference to be sworn by and used. It's always better to see the mountains close up, anyway. Pack this book along with your topo maps. I wouldn't be caught dead on a trail in Banff National Park without it!
