Named a Provincial Historic Site in 1986, Rat's Nest Cave near Canmore, Alberta, extends for approximately 4 km beneath Grotto Mountain. This new cave guide not only examines the natural history of this fascinating system of subterranean passageways, but also explores 2000-3000 years of human occupation.
A great read! I wish I read it BEFORE going caving at Rats Nest, but now I so badly want to back and see more. I had no idea about so many of the terms or details or science behind everything. Now I want to learn more. Would have loved more pictures and more stories of discovering / expansing areas of the cave system.
Interesting and informative book that isn't too wordy or long. Perfect complement to exploring the cave (highly recommended for anyone who has the opportunity) and a great introduction to many aspects of caves with a focus on Rat's Nest Cave and surrounding caves.
