This book focuses on the Canadian Rocky Mountain Parks &mdash an interconnected system of provincial and national parks covering more than 30,000 square kilometers (18,630 mi2).

These parks vary in popularity and access &ndash some see millions of visitors each year, while others see visitors in the tens of thousands. Some parks are easily accessed from a major highway, while others require rigorous journeys by foot, horse or plane.

Each of these parks offers a unique twist on the dramatic landscapes that define the Rockies &ndash towering mountain peaks, rushing rivers, ancient glaciers, wildflower-filled meadows, brilliant blue lakes, and dense forests make up this outdoor paradise.
