The Canadian Rockies

by Douglas Leighton

Through the lens of his camera, Douglas Leighton has captured the magic and the majesty of the Canadian Rockies. Because he is himself a resident of these mountains, his reverence of the alpine wilderness is evident in his photography. His images successfully convey the pristine nature of this ever-changing landscape. Leighton's work represents both his respect for the unique character of the Rockies and his aspiration to share with others the beauty of this untamed place. This is the all-time, best-selling book on the Canadian Rockies. It has been extensively revised and updated for this edition. The result is the most complete and most beautiful portrait of the Canadian Rockies ever released.

I love this book for the inspiration it gives me with my photography while I am in the mountains. Beautiful scenery and wonderfully laid out text compliment the photos. I have visited many of the areas you see in these pages, and they do not do justice for how captivating they truly are! Much like any picture book...you simply need to have been there to truly be amazed, inspired and left in awe. If you love the mountains and backpacking you will understand.

More of a coffee table book and easily readable in under ten or fifteen minutes. Great photographs from some photographers who've influenced in my craft, particularly, Darwin Wiggett. It is a book of inspiration if you love the mountains, nature and the vast wilderness such as I do!
