Fodor's Canadian Rockies: with Calgary, Banff, and Jasper National Parks (Full-color Travel Guide)

As described

I want to research this area before visiting later this year and this book has a wealth of information.

Very detailed, easy to read and folds up to a packable size. Would purchase again

We used this to prep for a trip to Canada. The book is easy to use, and gave a great list of tour companies so we could plan and pay ahead of being there. The tour companies in the book did not show up on my Google search, so was great to have them listed. We used the maps in the book of the areas we were visiting, and the restaurant listings. We have a dietary restriction, so the restaurants listed in the book along with a Google search worked perfect.

More detail than any other source we found, and we looked hard.

The maps are small and just overviews. No trail distances nor enough detail to use for driving. Trail info is incomplete (not clear if distances are one way or round trip). Overall not helpful for planning a trip, but has some good ideas of places to do more research on.

The book itself, I could have used maps and more detail. Not pleased with the book. Perils of online purchase - cannot browse
