Pretty much all the information is present in Canada's great
topographical maps, but those are available only when you're there. This book is a great way to plan the trip ahead.

A Big Let Down
Yet, I am sorry to say that this one is a real let down. I have used Lonely Planet travel guides for years. The lay out is not user friendly. The print styles are very difficult to read. The book is not directed to the outdoors person as was the hallmark of the series. I was throughly dissappointed in this guide. The Moon guide is a vastly superior guide to this area.

great all around bk
we thought the bk did a great job hitting all different tourists' needs. maybe b/c we're hikers, we wish there was even more info on hiking in these parks! but the hiking info in the bks we thought very helpful. we especially appreciated all the little charts of "must see's," the basic info (post offices, laundry, etc. ), the many well-laid out maps, etc.
our only complaint is that it seems the authors put more passionate energy into the canadian parks. the descriptions in Glacier were a little more blah. in all, a great help though! well worn on our trip.
