Alberta Southern, Road and Recreation ATLAS, Canada.

Scale 1:150,000. Size 8"x11". 144 pages. Mussio Ventures Ltd edition. Welcome to the second edition of Southern Alberta Backroad Mapbook. Users of the old mapbook or its predecessor–Southwestern Alberta– will once again find many notable updates and additions. There are new Hunting and OHV as well as Snowmobiling sections in the writing along with the countless updates or additions to the other sections. Equally impressive are the updated maps with even more roads, trails and recreation points of interest to explore. Southern Alberta is an area of dramatic contrast–where sweeping prairies butt against towering mountain peaks, and the temperature can vary 80 degrees Celsius between summer and winter. Here you will find mile upon rolling mile of unbroken farmland backed by one of the most dramatic mountainscapes in the world, and here are near desert conditions, through which flow some of Canada’s largest rivers, where rolling fields of yellow canola seem to stretch to meet the deep blue sky. It is also an area of incredible beauty. There are few highways as spectacular as the Crowsnest Pass leading into BC, few hikes as breathtaking (in more ways than one) as the Crypt Lake hike in Waterton Park, and few campsites as nice as the ones you will find on the shores of Kananaskis Lake in Peter Lougheed Provincial Park.
