Gemtrek map Lake Louise & Yoho

Gem Trek’s LAKE LOUISE & YOHO MAP is designed for visitors looking to explore one of North America’s premier day hiking destinations. Whether you are new to hiking or experienced in backcountry travel, you’ll find the waterproof and tear-resistant Lake Louise & Yoho Map to be an invaluable tool.

This map features detailed cartography, accurate hiking trails with distances, and details such as campgrounds, lodges, huts, teahouses, and picnic areas. On the reverse side of the map are photos and trail descriptions of 11 recommended day hikes covered on the main map, ranging from easy lakeshore walks to more demanding hikes into alpine country. Four overnight or multi-day trips are also featured, along with contact information for two backcountry lodges, Skoki Lodge and Twin Falls Chalet.

Lake Louise & Yoho Map Coverage

The Lake Louise & Yoho Map centres on Lake Louise, but also includes detailed coverage of the Yoho Valley, Emerald Lake, Lake O’Hara, Paradise Valley, Moraine Lake, and the Skoki Valley.

The most popular hiking trails on the Lake Louise & Yoho map include the two classic “teahouse hikes” to Lake Agnes and Plain of the Six Glaciers, Little Beehive, Big Beehive, Saddleback, Paradise Valley, Larch Valley and Sentinel Pass, Eiffel Lake, Consolation Lakes, and the Skoki Valley. In Yoho National Park, all Lake O’Hara day hikes, Emerald River, Emerald Basin, Wapta Highline, Burgess Pass, The Iceline, Twin Falls, and Sherbrooke Lake are covered.

On the back of the map are two insets at a 1:25,000 scale. The Lake Louise inset increases coverage of adjacent hiking trails, including out to the Plain of the Six Glaciers. The other is dedicated to showing Lake O’Hara in greater detail, including all day hikes radiating from the lake.

Expedited shipping is available upon request.

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.
