The "Border Route Trail Guide" is indispensible for the aspiring Border Route Hiker. It contains detailed topographic maps, information about camp sites and provides historic context to an area that has seen everything from Voyageurs to logging and mining operations. The trail guide goes beyond a mere description of the trail by pointing out side-trips, both off- and on-trail, to scenery and natural features easily missed.

The current (fifth) edition of the trail is out of print. An updated sixth edition will be available in February or March 2012. Check back soon for ordering information.
