How the mountains' glaciers, hot springs, and other geologic wonders came to be
Written for the lay reader and traveler, How Old Is That Mountain? keeps geological jargon to a minimum while describing how the mountains' glaciers, hot springs, and other geologic wonders came to be. Now in a newly revised edition, How Old Is That Mountain?: A Visitor's Guide to the Geology of Banff and Yoho National Parks is about the Rocky Mountains and their adjacent areas in Banff and Yoho parks. How Old Is That Mountain? does not contain much in the way of highway maps or "how to get there/where to stay" information; rather, it focuses upon science and natural history for the lay reader, whether a vacationer seeking an enriched experience or an armchair traveler looking for the next best thing to being there. More than 60 black-and-white photographs and diagrams illustrate this enjoyable guide to the scientific forces at work shaping this unforgettable region.
