120 stunning photographs reveal the treasures of Canada's national park system.
"Gateways to nature, to discovery to solitude, to celebrate the beauty and infinite variety of our land" is how Parks Canada defines the country's more than 35 national parks. In this book, authors and photographers travel to selected parks across Canada. Along the way they visit remarkable ecological niches and meet people long linked to these intriguing places. From the fog-bound Pacific shore at Gwaii Haanas to Newfoundland's Gros Morne along the Atlantic, from Jasper. Banff, and Yoho in the Rocky Mountains, to remote parks in the vast interior plains, and finally to the wild seemingly endless expanse of the far north in Ivvavik -- experience a rich sampling of Canada's national parks and reserves.

Park Profiles: Exploring Canada's Spectacular National Parks
This review is from: Park Profiles: Exploring Canada's Spectacular National Parks (Paperback)
Nat'l Geo. puts out a great book, 'Guide to the National Parks,' of the U.S. with much helpful information for travelers. This book has no such information. It claims to have detailed maps of which there is only one. It has no park specific info like the U.S. guide. It's best use is to weight down a coffee table, except that it's softcover. If pictures are your bag then this is probably a good book for you. If getting into the out of doors is your goal then this book is of no help at all.
