The Canadian Rockies are extroverts who bare their full, rock-hard musculature for all to see. Other ranges, blunt and cloaked in forest, are shy compared to this brazen northern breed. In musical terms, these mountains are avant-garde. They ve abandoned standard chord progressions and scales in favor of improvisation. The resulting shapes are fantastic. Jazz set in stone, lofted into the sky. Within the Canadian Rockies is a town world-famous among hikers: Banff. And if that s your destination, Done in a Day Banff: The Ten Premier Hikes is the one book you must have in your pack. Done in a Day Banff describes where to invest your limited hiking time to enjoy the greatest scenic reward. Choose an easy, vigorous, or challenging hike. Start your adventure within a short drive of town.
