The 10th edition includes:
• Descriptions of 227 Canadian Rockies hikes and routes plus dozens of side trips
• More than stunning colour 250 photographs
• 35 colour topo maps
• Trail logs measured by “trail wheel”
• GPS co-ordinates for all trailheads
• Sources for information, maps, backcountry lodging, and transportation
