Bow Lake & Saskatchewan Crossing trail map & guide 1:70,000

This map covers the southern, most scenic stretch of the Icefields Parkway from Hector Lake, just north of Lake Louise, north to Rampart Creek in Banff National Park. A 1:100 000-scale inset map on the back of the map increases coverage to the adjoining Mosquito Creek/Fish Lakes area.

The area covered on this map is prime hiking terrain with scenery as superb as the rest of Banff National Park, but with the trails less busy than those in the Banff townsite and Lake Louise areas. Besides spotting marmots in the boulders near Helen Lake, you also have an excellent chance of seeing moose.

On the back of the map are trail descriptions and photos of 16 recommended day hikes, ranging from short and easy to long and strenuous, as well as descriptions of five overnight trips. Classic trails covered include Bow Glacier Falls, Helen Lake, Bow Summit Lookout, Sunset Pass, and Cirque, Chephren and and Glacier Lake trails. All trails are referenced to the front.
