This second edition of Snowshoeing in the Canadian Rockies describes
100+ great routes for snowshoers of all levels -- from beginners who
have never snowshoed, to experienced backcountry travelers who are
looking for new challenges. The 61 routes described in the first edition
have been augmented with 45 new routes, including trips in the Crowsnest
Pass and new treks at Lake Louise. In addition, several routes have been
updated with new descriptions and better photos. Alternative, safer
routes up several soon-to-be-classic ascents such as Rummel Ridge and
Rawson Ridge are also a new feature of this book.
The trips extend from scenic Waterton in the far south to the
breathtaking Columbia Icefield in the north section of Banff National
Park. Photos, maps and detailed route descriptions are provided for each
trip, as well as level of difficulty, objective hazards and additional
equipment requirements.
Whether you are looking for an easy day on flat terrain amid beautiful
surroundings or far-reaching and magnificent views from the summit of a
picturesque mountain, you will find even more of it in the second
edition of this spectacular new guidebook.
