About the Author
As a fulltime travel writer and photographer, Andrew Hempstead has spent many years exploring, photographing, and writing about Canada. He looks forward to spending every second summer at home in the Canadian Rockies, traveling mountain highways and hiking trails, exploring new places, and updating old favorites. He spends as much time as possible on the road, traveling incognito, experiencing the many and varied delights of the region just as his readers do. The result is the book you hold in front of you, the most comprehensive and up-to-date source of information available for traveling in the Canadian Rockies.
Andrew has been writing since the late 1980s, when he left an established career in advertising and took off for Alaska, linking up with veteran travel writer Deke Castleman to research and update the fourth edition of the Moon Handbook to Alaska and the Yukon. Since then, he has produced guidebooks to British Columbia, Vancouver and Victoria, Alberta, Western Canada, Atlantic Canada, and Nova Scotia. He is also the author of Moon guidebooks to Australia and New Zealand, and a contributor to Moon San Juan Islands, Road Trip USA, Northwest Best Places, and Eyewitness Guide to the USA, as well as the updater of The Illustrated Guide to New Zealand. His writing and photographs have appeared in a wide variety of other media, including National Geographic Traveler, Travesias, Where, Interval World, Microsoft’s Automap, and on the Alaska Airlines and Expedia websites. Andrew has spoken on guidebook writing to a national audience, has contributed to a university-level travel writing textbook, and has been called on by CNN Travel as a Canadian travel expert.
Andrew lives with his wife and two children in Banff, Canada.

Best book I found to prep for a trip to the Canadian Rockies. I had checked out a bunch online and through the library and found I relied on this one the most. Very useful summaries and suggestions.

In general this guide is a solid overview of the major features of the area; the author had to cram an awfully large volume of data into a relatively petite book, so he did a good job. A few of the hiking trail descriptions were off-base, though, in my opinion. For example, a few trails were listed as "easy" but would probably be better classified as "moderate" for the average person, and then some uber-easy trails we found were not mentioned at all. If you are a frequent hiker, the trail reviews are probably accurate for you. But if you are someone who engages in moderate exercise only with little hiking activity, look for a few alternate opinions on trails of interest before you embark. You might feel some of the "easy" trails are actually "moderate." At any rate, this book served us well and was worth the price for us. It helped us to see a nice selection of natural features in 3 of the parks in only 5 days.
Thank you for your feedback.
