Snowshoeing in the Canadian Rockies

By Andrew Nugara

Second-edition guide to more than 100 snowshoe routes from Waterton to the Columbia Icefield for beginners through experienced backcountry travellers.

Snowshoeing in the Canadian Rockies expands the original route collection with 45 additional trips, including outings in Crowsnest Pass and around Lake Louise. Routes range from easier days on relatively gentle terrain to more demanding mountain objectives requiring stronger judgment and backcountry experience.

Each trip includes photographs, maps and detailed route descriptions together with difficulty, objective hazards and equipment requirements. Existing routes have been updated, and selected ascents such as Rummel Ridge and Rawson Ridge include alternative lines intended to provide safer options under appropriate conditions.

The geographic range extends from Waterton in the south to the Columbia Icefield in the northern part of Banff National Park. The guide is designed for practical winter trip planning and for snowshoers who want a substantial collection of Canadian Rockies routes across a range of abilities.
