Wildlife – History – Geology – Highlights
This user-friendly map-guide includes a 1:250,00-scale poster-quality map of
Canada’s most popular national park, as well as useful and entertaining
information about everything from mountain building to Banff Park wildlife.
The map covers Banff National Park as well as Yoho and Kootenay national
parks. It shows roads, viewpoints, attractions, lodges and glaciers, and gives
the name and elevation of mountains.
Contour lines at 200-metre (650-ft) intervals give map-users a good idea of
the lay of the land. The map also shows official park trails, although it is
not intended as a hiking map.
On the back of the map are photos and descriptions of the highlights of the
park, including sights and attractions in Banff townsite and area, Lake
Louise, and along the Icefields Parkway. There are also descriptions of the
park’s geology, history, wildlife, and eco-regions.
Practical information on outdoor activities and local weather is also
included, as well as contact names and numbers.
