Gemtrek map Kootenay National Park

Gem Trek’s KOOTENAY NATIONAL PARK MAP is perfect for hikers and outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore the least visited of the four contiguous national parks in the Canadian Rockies. Whether you are touring along the roads or heading into the Kootenay backcountry, you’ll find the waterproof and tear-resistant Kootenay National Park Map to be an invaluable tool.

This map features detailed cartography, accurate hiking trails with distances, and details such as logging roads around the park’s boundary, campgrounds, picnic areas, and fire lookouts. On the back of the map are trail descriptions and photos of 10 short interpretive walks to viewpoints or points of interest, six recommended day hikes, four classic mountain bike rides and four longer, more strenuous day hikes and overnight trips. Also on the back is contact information for visitor centres and campgrounds.

How do you ship?
All the orders are shipped with Canada Post. We use their Expedited service which offers a tracking number and $100 insurance. Depending on your location, you can expect you parcel do take between 2 to 8 business days to get to you once shipped. Here's a rough estimate: 

• Alberta and British-Columbia: 2-3 business days
• Sasakatchewan-Manitoba: 3-4 business days
• Ontario and Quebec: 6-8 business days
• Maritimes: 7-9 business days

If you are ordering from the USA, you can expect between 7 and 15 business days before you see your order. That is because sometimes, the duty clearance takes time to process.

Can I get my order faster?
Yes you can. If you want your order to ship faster, you can leave us a note when you do your purchase online. We will then get a quote from Canada Post and will contact you with the shipping costs. Please note that we are not responsible for shipping costs when you want it expedited. You will have to cover all the cost for this shipping method. 

Do you ship internationally?
We can. If you live outside Canada or the United-States of America, you can send us an email with the item you would like buy and your full address and we can get a quote from different courriers. Once we have an idea of the shipping cost, we will confirm with you the amount and then, we can proceed with phone order.
