Designed for both locals and visitors, Gem Trek’s 1:35,000 Banff Up-Close Map is a detailed relief-shaded topographic map of the Banff area. All hiking and biking trails are labeled, and distances are marked. Like all Gem Trek maps, the Banff Up-Close Map features detailed cartography and accurate hiking trails with distances, elevation gain, and directions to the trailhead noted. An inset on the back increases coverage of downtown Banff, with museums and all streets marked. Also on the flipside are descriptions of the sights, museums and scenic drives in Banff. We've also included a hand-picked list of the best seven walks and day hikes in the area. The highlights of each trail are noted, as well as distance, elevation gain and directions to the trailhead.
