Product Description
Sasquatch is pleased to offer the illustrated histories of North America's Great Lodges from W.W. West. There are hundreds of lodges, inns, and hotels in the U.S. and Canada, but only a handful of historic Great Lodges. Through stunning color photographs, historical pictures, and evocative text, learn the stories of these architectural treasures and the men and women who built them. Partial proceeds from sales of the books go to the rehabilitation of these magnificent buildings.

Even better than the PBS program August 15, 2004
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
After watching the PBS series in July, I decided to buy the book. (I already own Great Lodges of the National Parks.) Not only are all of the spots in the series here, but MANY more. They all have wonderful photos and even better stories. It was touching to hear once more about Ken Jones (the first show of the series is in his memory).
You'll head to Canada after reading this book April 29, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Anyone who loves spectacular mountain scenery and historic lodges should grab this book! Not only does the book contain the well-known spots (Banff Springs Hotel, Chateau Lake Louise and Jasper Park Lodge) but there's an entire section on lodges you can ONLY hike or ride horseback to. Barnes other books all feature American lodges, so this trip into the Canadian Rockies is a special visual treat full of history and plenty of sentiment. There are fold-out pages for real panoramic shots and a neat little guide in the back.
Great Coffee Table Book for Lodge Lovers November 18, 2001
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Great pictures, informative text, and a tempting vacation guide (the book comes with a pocket guide showing prices, phone numbers, directions, photography tips, and other information). Describes the architectural and cultural evolution of the greatest lodges in Canada - most are those lodges built by the railways or by early 20th century mountaineers. All your guests will pick it up.
