.239 Great Places to Escape to Nature Without Roughing It: From Rustic Cabins to Luxury Resorts (Special-Interest Titles)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Fodor's

May 02, 2006
A very interesting book. Some of the places are REALLY isolated. I'm always a little bit cautious about being so cut off from civilization, in case of a medical emergency. However, if you are young and healthy, the book is filled with great ideas.

.Frommer's Toronto 2008 (Frommer's Complete)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Hilary Davidson

December 17, 2007
I just got back from a trip to Toronto and I found this book incredibly helpful. I bought it mainly for the restaurant and shopping chapters (which were great) but the best parts were the walking tours. There are three days of complete itineraries plus several walking tours of different neighborhoods, and they were so interesting that I ended up spending most of my trip following them. I feel like I really saw the city, not just the touristy highlights. Some of the places I wouldn't have found on my own, and others, like the University of Toronto Campus, I wouldn't have thought of visiting (there are two art galleries on the campus though so it's definitely worth a visit).

The other thing I really loved about the book was that ... Read More:

.Best Easy Day Hikes Glacier and Waterton Lakes National Parks, 2nd (Best Easy Day Hikes Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Erik Molvar

March 01, 2007
We found this book to be a great resource for trying to cover all areas of the park in only 5 days. We were able to do some hiking in all the main areas of the park and really get to take in some of the great beauty of the park that you just can't see from the road!

.Snow Sense: A Guide to Evaluating Snow Avalanche Hazard
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Jill A. Fredston, Doug Fesler

1999-05
As a longtime Alaskan, I feel fortunate to have had both Doug and Jill in many courses. The book Snow sense is now the required reading material for all Nat'l Ski Patrol avalanche courses, and rightly so. I read it at the begining of every season. True avalanche professionals. If you ever have the chance, come to Alaska and take one of their courses.

.Fodor's Nova Scotia & Atlantic Canada, 10th Edition: With New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland & Labrador (Fodor's Gold Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Fodor's

March 04, 2008
My fiance and I are going to Nova Scotia on our honeymoon this summer. This guide was the best one I've found. We're also going to Prince Edward Island and this book covers all of the Atlantic provinces. It even has sample itineraries which have been helpful because we are creating a honeymoon registry. Great buy! I would also recommend requesting free information from the tourist office of NS, they send out an informative brochure/book.

.Great Lodges of the Canadian Rockies: The Companion Book to the PBS Television Series
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Christine Barnes

May 01, 1999
After watching the PBS series in July, I decided to buy the book. (I already own Great Lodges of the National Parks.) Not only are all of the spots in the series here, but MANY more. They all have wonderful photos and even better stories. It was touching to hear once more about Ken Jones (the first show of the series is in his memory).

.A Tourist Guide to Lancre: A Discworld Mapp (Discworld Series)
City Travel Guides > Books > Canada
by: Terry Pratchett, Stephen Briggs

December 01, 1998
This map is a good map for those people (like me) who are addicted to Pratchett. Like the others, it helps so much with the visualisation of the places of the book (hubwise, rimwise - it all gets blurred after awhile). However, the map's only negative aspect was that it was a very large map with only a bit of detail here and there - Everything looked a bit spaced out.
