Next time you go hiking, biking, skiing or riding in the Canadian Rockies, pick up a Gem Trek recreation map first. Best of all, they’re printed on waterproof paper. ― Westworld magazine Gem Trek offers the best maps for Canadian Rockies recreationists. ― Bed Gadd, author of Handbook of the Canadian Rockies. Gem Trek maps are of high quality, great to look at and contain lots of accurate, practical and up-to-date information. ― Bill Corbett, outdoor writer Just wanted to let you know that we stumbled across your maps in an outfitting store in Edmonton. We were so overjoyed with the quality of the one we bought, we drove back and bought another two for different areas. We sat down for hours just staring and learning all about the trails and mountains. It is so awesome! Thanks for the great work you did. ― Andrea L, Edmonton, Alberta Gem Trek’s beautiful and practical maps provide me just about everything I need to plan my visit to the Canadian Rockies. ― Kirby L, Federal Way, Washington I am an Honours student in Geography at Memorial University of Newfoundland. This past summer, I had a four-month position in Calgary. On my days off, I used your Banff & Mt. Assiniboine map. During four years of research and endless hours of cartographic work, I have analyzed many maps. I must congratulate you on the superior graphics and use of attractive colour incorporated into your design. In my opinion your maps are the best there are for the intended purpose. ― Peter H., St. John’s, Newfoundland Gem Trek Maps. Not Apps. ― Paul P., Calgary, Alberta My maps
