Best resource we had with us!

This book was wonderful -- we did a trip along the Yellowhead using it to direct us to lodging and the "hidden" best places -- and the only time we went wrong on our trip was when we didn't consult the book. We're planning another trip this year, because we didn't get to all the places the book directed us to.BTW -- Louise's Kitchen in Smithers has what may arguably be the best food in Western Canada!
