By Tony Daffern

Thirty-seven accessible day hikes cover Banff, Lake Louise, Moraine Lake, the Icefields Parkway, Kootenay, Yoho and Jasper.

Popular Day Hikes: Canadian Rockies brings together routes in some of the most visited mountain areas of Alberta and British Columbia. Trips range from short walks to more strenuous full-day hikes and occasional easy scrambles, giving readers options across different abilities and available time.

Destinations include Spray River Loop, Sunshine Meadows, Stanley Glacier, Lake Agnes, Plain of Six Glaciers, Larch Valley, Twin Falls in Yoho Valley, Parker Ridge, Valley of the Five Lakes and Sulphur Skyline. Each hike includes directions to the trailhead, colour maps and photographs, seasonal information, round-trip distance, trail commentary and a difficulty rating.

The guide is designed for straightforward day-trip planning rather than technical backcountry travel. It is useful to Canadian Rockies visitors, local hikers and readers comparing routes across Banff, Lake Louise, the Icefields Parkway, Kootenay, Yoho and Jasper before choosing an outing.
