Best Hiking App in Canada? (sopuli.xyz)

Hello Canadians

Me and my partner will spend two weeks in the Rocky Mountains (southern BC). What is the best app for looking up trails? I saw that the national parks provide some information but besides that there doesn't seem to be some kind of official hiking map. My fear is that there will be a lot of people on the well-known trails in the national parks.

Thx, the second link is exactly what I was looking for. Guess I missed that one somehow. We are not planning to go off map. We are experienced hikers. Not gonna take any risk in foreign territory, mostly likely without signal.

Proper contour maps of your specific hike region will have excellent battery life, and the signal of paper to face can't be beat.

Makes a great souvenir afterwards too.

Paper contour maps are the best.
