5.0 out of 5 stars The best tour book ever written!, August 9, 2000

By	Tim Landers (Huntsville, AL USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Canadian Rockies SuperGuide (Paperback)

I travel quite a bit in my job as a computer trainer. I had the rare priviledge of working on a project in Edmonton, Alberta on several trips.

I've toured the Jasper to Banff (and reverse) Icefields Parkway five times, and Mt. Robson twice. It was on my second weekend trip during a rest stop at The Crossing that I spied a different kind of book. The stunning photography and well-organized sections sold me on the spot.

This guide made my ride that day on the Icefields Parkway an experience I'll never forget. It has everything: maps, history, biographies, and hotel guides, you name it! I still get it out occasionally to relive the most beautiful trips I've been on.

There's even a section on best times and techniques to photograph certain places. I have taken it with me every trip to help me identify and record where my numerous photos were taken.

I always recommend this book as an essential part of any excursion into the area. Read it before you go, that way you won't miss anything!
