1. This is undoubtedly the best book on bird hunting in a very,very long time.It has given the reader the "Who,what,when, and where",in specific and pleasant language, with some inviting photos of the lodges.The author has skillfully gone from areas to hunt that are either almost free, to the quite expensive, using the same exacting detail about what kind of birds,their source,seasons,lodging availability,rates,directions to get there,...even down to tipping. A few paragraphs about each place makes you wish you were able to hunt them all.



2. I am disapointed in this book. The first fault is that it fell apart the first time I opened it. It is very cheaply made and the pages keep falling out of it! Secondly, the info is not that useful and one would be much better served researching places to hunt on the net.

1. The first portion of the book gives alot helpful information that is necessay for anyone thinking of hiking in the Canadian Rockies--from the gear needed for the hike to the precautions that need to be taken with hazards related to hiking. The author does an excellent job of linking each hike in a particular area to the next one, so that a hiker could possibly continue on right into the next degree of difficulty--if one were so inclined, or had enough time and preparation. Each hike is covered in very good detail, including: distance one way, degree of difficulty, elevation change, highest elevation reached on the hike, and location of the tailhead. Many beautiful colored and black & white photos were also included. The one thing that I thought was a little bit lacking was the detail of the maps. Several hikes in each area were included on the same map, and sometimes it got somewhat cluttered looking on the map. Overall I would highly recommend this book to anyone who was just a beginner or to those who wanted to strike out on the next degree of difficulty--all the way up to scaling some of the taller peaks in the Lake Louise area.

2 comments about Southwestern Alberta (Backroad Mapbooks).

1. As a reference on out door activities in this area, this is a good book.
   
   Extremely detailed maps show hiking trails, boat launches, hang gliding spots, horse back riding trails, out of the way campgrounds, etc. Separate sections on trails, fishing, paddling and parks/campgrounds with descriptions are cross indexed. If you can put the pieces together, the total amount of information in this book is impressive



2. Backroad Mapbooks: Southwestern Alberta is a complete outdoor recreational guide for those working, living, or traveling to southern Alberta. This book contains full colour maps showing the smallest back road, river tributary, and lake. Maps also include details on the size and general condition of roads; location of campsites and tourist information centers; and indoor and outdoor recreational areas.
   
   This book also contains a very detailed reference section with information on fishing regulations and fishing tips; lake and river paddling routes (including put in and take out areas); parks and campgrounds; hiking, walking, and sightseeing trails; wildlife viewing areas, and winter recreation areas. Within each of these sections, various areas of southwestern Alberta are explored with detailed entries on particular locations, sites, and areas. This part of the book will be particularly useful to those visiting the area as well as residents looking for something new to do.
   
   As an archaeologist, I do a lot of back road and oilfield access trail driving. Usually, the development or survey map I am given is in really bad shape and usually twenty or thirty years out of date. Therefore, I usually have to guess how to get to my project area. This takes up extra time that could be better used on site. Using this map though, I now have a good idea of the exact oilfield roads to take to get to my sites. I even have an idea of how good of road conditions I can expect on these roads saving me a good deal of valuable time.
   
   In this way, the map portion of this guide will be particularly helpful for those working in the oilfield industry. This book actually shows many of the existing back roads and oilfield roads so that the reader can quickly find a way into his or her project area. I know of only one other map book with such detail. This other book retails at over $250, making Backroad Mapbooks: Southwestern Alberta much more economically reasonable.
