During our holiday in a couple of weeks in the Canadian Rockies my wife and I will be walking from Calgary, Banff, Lake Louise, Jasper and Kananaskis Village. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who can offer any recommendations on maps covering them please.
As usual I intend to plot our walks on return, from my GPS recordings. So ideally I'd like digital maps I can use directly in Memory-Map. But the only ones I've found so far are around US $90 (excluding tax and delivery). So I'd be happy to scan paper maps and calibrate myself. But maybe there are some online (free) sources I've not yet found?

Click on the topo map index, then click on the map that shows up in the area you want and keep clicking until you are down to the 50,000 map of the area you want, then select that for download. Fairly straight-forward ... just keep on clicking...
