British Columbia a Walking guide

A guide to walking in North America`s wild and beautiful British Columbia,
Canada. From the Canadian Rockies to the Pacific, British Columbia has 637
provincial parks, six national parks, wide regions of protected land and age-
old forests. The routes are a mix of longer mountain trails in true wilderness
and shorter walks.

The trails in this guide balance coastal and mountain regions. In an area so
vast, they can only offer a taste of what British Columbia has to offer. There
is a selection of shorter walks of great scenic beauty, many introducing the
walker into regions dominated by native (First Nations) culture. These are
balanced by harder mountain trails, including many multi-day expeditions,
which take the walker far into the wild and offer great challenges.

Areas covered include:
Vancouver Island
Haida Gwaii (Queen Charlotte Islands)
Whistler and Squamish
Manning Provincial Park
Stein Valley Nlaka`Pamux National Park
Mt Revelstoke and Glacier national parks
the Kootenays
the BC Rockies.
