Book excerpt: This photo journal shares the experiences and adventures of the first person to hike all the way across British Columbia on the Trans Canada Trail, from Victoria to Alberta. This book will interest both those who live in British Columbia and those who do not. For residents of British Columbia--who already know a lot about their beautiful province--this photo journal, told from a hiker's up-close perspective, will deepen that knowledge. Crossing a province as varied as British Columbia at "human speed" provides a perspective that no other mode of travel can match. Scenes that are fleeting glimpses when seen from a speeding car--or even a fast-moving bicycle--take on a new reality when experienced at walking speed. And for those not living in BC, this book can serve as a great introduction to this fascinating province, that goes far beyond guidebooks or coffee table books. Besides those interested in BC, this photo journal will resonate with all hikers, far and wide. Finally, note that all proceeds from sale of this book are donated to the Trans Canada Trail Foundation, so every purchaser will have played a role in supporting completion of the longest continuous trail in the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rugged west coast of Vancouver Island offers some of the most spectacular and storied hiking in the Pacific Northwest. Home to the world-famous West Coast Trail, once a lifeline for marooned sailors and still among the most breath-taking yet demanding hikes on the continent, the island's western shores also feature lesser-known coastal trails for all abilities. From the tidal pools and pocket beaches of the Juan de Fuca Marine Trail to the craggy surf-swept shores of Shushartie Bay and the North Coast Trail, the ten areas covered in this volume will give you a taste of the region's best hiking terrain. This third, fully updated and expanded edition, delivers the detailed trail descriptions, insider tips and clear two-colour maps that hikers have come to rely on plus two entirely new sections on the wild and challenging North Coast Trail extension from Cape Scott and the remote and rarely visited Tatchu coastal hike on the Rugged Peninsula. Less-experienced hikers may enjoy the Juan de Fuca Trail, a southern extension of the West Coast Trail from Port Renfrew to Jordan River, or the trails through the stunning old-growth forest of Carmanah-Walbran Provincial Park. For day trippers, there's the Wild Pacific Trail, a northern extension of the West Coast Trail that begins in Ucluelet and heads north over headlands and white sand beaches toward Long Beach and Tofino. And for those who prefer more remote hiking, the northern part of the island offers the rugged Nootka Trail, described by Backpacker magazine as a wild, historic and beautiful trail, or the boardwalk at Cape Scott, where black bears share the windswept beaches with kayakers and the ghosts of shipwrecked crews. From planning the trip, to getting to and from the trailheads, to choosing the most scenic campsites, this is an indispensable guide for the thousands of hikers who use the West Coast Trail each year and for those who will want to use its alternatives.
