Latest book by Ben Gadd covers main highways in the Canadian Rockies including the Trans-Canada from Calgary to Canmore, Hwy. 40 from the Trans-Canada to Highwood Junction, and Hwy. 541 from Highwood Junction to Longview. Written in Ben’s usual easy-to-understand “plain English” with lots of photos and diagrams. It’s great to have a pic of Mist Mountain on the front cover!

Where is this book available…it would be amazing to have along on trips.
It’s new, so should be in all the bookstores. Get them to check before you go.
Thanks for asking about my new tome! Check for it at Pages in Calgary, the U of C Bookstore, the U of A Bookstore in Edmonton, or Map Town in Edmonton and Calgary. Or e-mail me if you’d like a signed copy.
Dear Ben
It is a visually arresting cover. I work for the academic publisher Routledge in the UK so I know my covers! We have done a couple of Geology titles, we have a splendid second edition of one at present, stunning books, am happy to send you an edition if you like (the link should hopefully work-Fundamentals of Geomorphology by Hugget) http://www.routledge.com/books/textbooks/Physical-Geography-and-Environmental-Science.
I was hoping to pop over in April for the upcoming Calgary Alpine meeting to meet some people but it looks as though I may have to skip it. There is some stunning walking and hiking around the area and I love Banff / Calgary. I am desperate to immigrate but the current economic climate is not really conducive and job hunting is tough – wherevere we are we still have the walking though. Although, as I recall, the Rockies are a little more engaging than the old Munros this side of the pond!
Forgive me if my post is felt impertinent. I would purchase a copy of your book but it makes no sense for me to get a copy here only to have to ship it out at some point in, hopefully, the near future.
My regards and have a good close to the weekend.
Hi Guys,
This is probably not the right place to ask, but…
I see that your old K-Country hiking guides are no longer in print. Do your new books cover the same hikes? I have the old volume 2, and was hoping to buy volume 1, so I’m looking for a guide that covers the same area as the old volume 1.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me.
John
