The all-new, expanded follow-up to southwestern British Columbia's best-selling hiking guidebook—now featuring trails on the islands and northern Washington.

For nearly 50 years, David and Mary Macaree's iconic 103 Hikes in Southwestern British Columbia has been the province's most popular and most trusted hiking guide, with more than 100,000 copies sold to date. Author Stephen Hui carries on the Macarees' legacy in 105 Hikes In and Around Southwestern British Columbia—an all-new, expanded follow-up inspired by their beloved classic.

With an additional selection of trails on the islands and in Washington's North Cascades, options for hiking with children, and rainy day recommendations, 105 Hikes covers a wider area and wider range of abilities than its predecessor. Like the Macarees, Hui provides detailed information about how to get to each trailhead (including transit options, where available), distance and elevation gains, estimated hiking times, and points of natural or historical interest. But he also includes all-new features such as an at-a-glance summary of all the hikes in the book; tips for hiking safely and ethically; clear, topographical color maps; a rating system for hike quality and difficulty; Indigenous place names where appropriate; and shorter or longer options for every outing. The resulting guidebook is both more extensive and user-friendly than ever before—a comprehensive, authoritative guide for trekking in all seasons.… (plus d'informations)

The best thing about hiking with kids is appreciating nature as a whole family. But hiking with kids can be challenging when little ones get tired, cold, or hungry. This book carefully chooses trails for kids of a variety of ages and skill levels, ranging in distance from 2km/1.2 miles (great for toddlers) to 12km/7.5 miles (for older or energetic kids). All are easy to get to so kids have more time to explore stops at suspension bridges, hollow trees, ghost towns, beaches, lakes, and vistas. Each route features a clear reference map and full-colour photos, plus:

• a description of trail highlights
• detailed directions to the trailhead
• a snapshot of the best season, difficulty, length, high point, and elevation gain
• a fun fact related to the plants, animals, or history of the trail… (plus d'informations)
