Walk in easy stages from Vancouver to Mission -- explore the Fraser River and its tributaries and find historic treasures you never knew existed. Go around Burrard Inlet and Burnaby Mountain -- enjoy the green ravines that carry scores of creeks down from the mountains. Walk from Horseshoe Bay to the Peace Arch and continue to Fort Langley -- enjoy Vancouver's marine history and the peace of its southern farmlands. Walk across and around Vancouver without retracing your steps. Maps and complete instructions detail how to reach and follow each of the book's one-way walks. Charles Clapham shows you how to leave your car at the end of the planned day's walk, bus to the start and walk back to your car. Or better still, use the bus and leave your car at home. He makes suggestions for parking and transit, special points of interest, stops for coffee and lunch and -- of crucial importance to all urban walkers -- possible 'pit stops'.

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.
