Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
A journalist and passionate hiker, Katz (The Complete Guide to Bicycling in Canada) divides this comprehensive guide into two sections. The first contains advice on equipment, food and cooking, route finding, hiking with children, and health and safety as well as a checklist of what to bring along; the second is a guide to hundreds of trails in Canada's national and provincial parks. Each park listing contains brief entries that give background information plus a short description of the various trails suitable for walkers, day-hikers, and backpackers. Katz also includes wheelchair- and stroller-accessible trails as well as those appropriate for hikers with visual disabilities. A list of web sites and e-mail addresses of park offices and hostel networks rounds out the work. While no route maps or information on lodging and campsites is provided, the towns where the needed supplies can be bought are mentioned throughout. Making up in breadth for what it lacks in depth, this guide provides a solid overview of the subject. Recommended for ecotourism and travel collections in all public libraries.

Quantity versus Quality...,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Complete Guide to Walking in Canada: Includes Day-Hiking and Backpacking (Paperback)
I guess for a book that covers so many square miles -- an entire huge Nation --
the shallow level of detail is perhaps to be expected, e.g. only Provinceal/Territorial-scale(!) maps, but eXcellent links to further info are listed 100% :)
