This guidebook to the caves of the Canadian Rockies and the Columbia Mountains covers both sides of the BC/Alberta border, spanning an area from as far south as the Crowsnest Pass and as far north as the Prince George area.

 

The first Canadian caving guide, it offers extensive information for each cave, including location, cave survey, history of exploration, access maps and all the necessary technical details needed for safe exploration.
