Given the popularity of these parks, I was surprised to find little on the internet about them, especially Banff. Despite doing a lot of research on the internet, this book added tremendously to our trip to Banff Park. Well organized, thoughtful, packed with useful tips, and accurate even though it's a bit dated now.

If you are interested in the Canadian Rockies, and these parks in particular, because you want to be outside, on the trails, in a boat, this is the best overall guide I could find. There are other guides that focus in on detailed specifics of 200+ trails, and the Moon guide will focus more on where to stay and what to eat. For the hiker and backpacker, this has much more information than Moon, with just enough detail on towns and facilities to get you from place to place.

I felt the information wasn't presented in the most logical order. I also really liked some restaurants (that weren't super new) that were not mentioned, and felt the itineraries were not what I was looking for. We just did Banff, Icefields Parkway, and Canmore thought, maybe it is better for people doing all three parks. I was surprised I couldn't find information about Ha Ling, a popular and tough climb in Canmore. I like how Moon books give you a hint as to what is a favorite.

If you're going, get it. It's like a pre-walk through the park.

I used this book for my recent trip to Banff and Jasper. I originally got a book for all the national parks, but it didn't have enough detail. This was much better. Lots of little details about hikes and surrounding area. I kept it with me the entire trip. The maps were pretty good and accurate. I was able to use it for Banff, Jasper and even Yoho, as it included surrounding areas. Glad I bought this book and returned the other.

The Banff, Jasper & Glacier app is great to use before you head for a vacation in that area, especially if you go in late fall.

This is a fantastic book if you're planning a trip to any of these parks! I went to Glacier without this book, and wish I had it. I bought this book because I'm planning a trip to Banff next. It's small, so perfect for travelling, but it still packs a ton of information. It was everything from lodging/camping and their prices, food and where to find it, hikes and their difficulty/length/altitude, to maps of the entire park and where you should go for specific activites, rentals, or to see particular wildlife. I can't wait to put this book to use in Banff next year! Would highly recommend.

This book was amazing. I took it with me on the trip and on every hike and it was so helpful. Very detailed and the hike times are pretty precise. I highly recommend this book! And not just for the hiking trails advice, but also for lodging, eating, and other activity suggestions. Very very detailed and well researched. Definitely a great buy!
