An excellent hiking companion

Let's start with the best stuff first: There are B & W topo maps in the back of the book displaying all 100+ trails on them. The trails are numbered, so they can be located quickly on the maps. The area the maps cover runs from Canmore down to the Southern tip of Kananaskis. There is one large map showing the location and area coverage of each one of the more detailed maps, making for easy orientation. Natural features such as lakes, waterfalls, glaciers, and icefields are pointed out on the maps, as well as viewpoints and the path each trail or route follows. There are 100+ trails described in this book. For each trail, basic information such as distance and elevation gain is given. Official *and* unofficial trails are listed. The author has done an excellent job of providing a lot of detail for each trail: Where to start and how to get there, directions to follow while you're on the trail, things you will encounter on the trail, a few historical facts here and there, etc. etc. I cannot recommend this book enough to any person wanting to visit and hike in K-country. It is an excellent resource and provides invaluable information to hikers.

Great book for newcomers to K country

This book is like haivng a local friend who knows all the trails. Great directions to great locations. Make sure you know how to read topo maps.
