This review is from: Banff's Best Day Hikes (Paperback)

Of the 4 books I have read dealing with "day" hiking, this one is the worst. First: it contains hikes that are far more difficult than what I was lead to believe by the word dayhike. Second: the maps of the hikes are very poorly illustrated. Third: the discription of the hikes themselves are lacking in any detail or directions. Fourth: the book contains only hikes in the area immediately around the town of Banff, and does not contain hikes in the entire Park of of Banff. I was very dissappointed in it.

I ordered this book before our first trip to the Canadian Rockies and found it very helpful in anticipating and planning our excursions. It is so nicely illustrated that it remains a very pleasant reminder of our trip to Banff. I thought it well done and sufficiently descriptive.
