Northwest Trails v1.53 Now Available – Happy New Year and Welcome Alberta!
Happy New Year! I hope that everyone is enjoying a warm and comfortable wind-down to the holiday season. I know that I am definitely looking forward to this next year and the prospect of bringing continued improvements to Switchbacks.com and the Northwest Trails Project.
We’re kicking off 2010 with a big addition – Alberta! I had received a few requests from people over recent months to add the province, and with it sharing trails in the Rockies with neighboring British Columbia – already included in NW Trails – it made sense to add it in. Many thanks go out to John at the Southern Alberta Trail Mapping Project for graciously offering his data from that project to Northwest Trails. Seeding the database with John’s content is a huge start, although there is still a lot of work to be done. So, if you have any data for trails in Alberta, I welcome you to send it in!
Below is the complete list of additions in this version of Northwest Trails. Enjoy!
