Book Description
Editorial Reviews
Review
"With its crisp printing on large pages covered with numerous pictures and engaging writing, it is as much a reference to the area as a guide to its caves and an example to hold up high to the caving world. The amount of information contained here is staggering, being collected over the course of countless hours of toil by about sixty members of the Alberta SS, who also drew up the surveys. Highly recommended." -- Chris Howes, Descent Magazine, Issue 180, Oct/Nov 2004.

Solid Cave Guide,
This review is from: Caves of the Canadian Rockies and the Columbia Mountains (Paperback)
I have not yet had the chance to visit the area this book covers.
From reading it: This is one of the most comprehensive cave guides I have seen for an area giving maps, photos and solid descriptions. The photos are excellent and make this book worthwhile on their own. A good summary of cave fomation and geology is included for many of the caves. American cavers generally frown on this sort of book, but with luck the remoteness of these caves will prevent vandelism.
