New Edition of Waterton Lakes National Park Map

by | May 14, 2023 | New Editions

Gem Trek Waterton Lakes National Park MapWe have just published the 5th edition of the Gem Trek Waterton Lakes National Park Map. As with all our waterproof maps in recent years, this edition was printed by Burke Group in Edmonton on waterproof and tear-resistant paper.

Updating our maps is a labour of love, with many hours spent in the field, incorporating input from map users, and working with government agencies to ensure accuracy. But this new edition was a huge undertaking as wildfires greatly affected the park, its trails, and its infrastructure. In 2017, the Kenow wildfire burnt almost half of Waterton Lakes National Park, impacting 80% of its trail system, damaging the integrity of roadways, and destroying infrastructure such as the visitor centre and Crandell Mountain Campground. In the ensuing years, although regeneration of the landscape has only just begun, work on repairing infrastructure is almost complete, and this is reflected in the new edition of the Waterton Lakes National Park Map. Up to date information on the park and its recovery is also available here: Waterton Lakes National Park Travel Guide
