As mentioned in some of the previous posts there will be some appendices in the back of the book that rank all the hikes according to different statistics generated from the GPS data. Below is a screenshot of one of these appendices. It is atable that shows the maximum slope on each of the 73 trails.

Book Progress Report
I have completed all the maps and write ups for each trail. Now its just editing and tweaking. But this is only half the work, the CD with all the images and other digital maps still has to be completed. I will send the book manuscript in for printing in mid February and then the CD will go out for duplication in mid April. All in time for a book launch on the May long weekend in Jasper!

Track Slope Data
Each trail in the book will have the GPS track analyzed for slope statistics. This should give hikers a better idea of terrain. For example;
Snake Indian Falls – Parking Lot to Falls
Average Ascent Slope: 3.0 %
Average Descent Slope: 3.9%
Maximum Ascent Slope: 11.1%
Maximum Descent Slope: 15.0%

New photos added to “Jasper Pics” page
Today I added a couple of marmot photos. The first one is of one of the many marmots in the Edith Cavell area. The second photo is of two marmots at Poboktan Pass. A popular place to stop and take a break at the pass with the marmots there to greet hikers. The two marmots are almost fighting over something on the ground which took me awhile to figure out what they were fighting over. Any guesses?
