These accurate, attractive guides feature expertly curated routes, informative maps, and colour photographs. Andrew Nugara’s second book for families looking to experience the splendour of the Canadian Rockies describes additional trips in Bragg Creek, Banff, and Kananaskis that were not included in Volume 1 due to redevelopment of these hiking hotspots since the dramatic Alberta floods of 2013.

Some of the comfortable walks and spectacular hikes in this new volume are: Forgetmenot Ponds Nihahi Ridge King Creek Canyon Canadian Everest Trail Picklejar Lakes Yamnuska Ha Ling Peak Sunshine Meadows Paget Peak Lookout Takakkaw Falls Parker Ridge Athabasca Glacier Sunwapta Falls Maligne Canyon Ranging from charmingly easy to moderately challenging, all of these hikes are accessible from reliable roads and popular staging areas.
