Great sampling of many of BC's premiere hikes October 20, 2008
This book has an excellent smattering of day and extended hikes in a variety of locations in the southern half of British Columbia. BC is a hiker's dream - you could spend a lifetime exploring all the mountain ranges and watersheds in this province. The authors have done a good job of selecting enough of a dream list to get you started. It's totally subjective in that the authors have included only what they believe are the "must do" hikes. We've done several of them and so far I can confirm that their choices are excellent and the trip details are accurate and generally helpful without being too much information. There are a lot of opinions thrown in and I do think some of it doesn't serve much of a purpose except as a personal soapbox. I've logged a lot of miles in my hiking boots, but one day I could very well be too old to hike into some of these backcountry locations under my own steam. I'd like to know that when I'm 85 or 90 I might be able to helicopter in to visit Berg Lake, for instance. However, the authors would judge that to be cheating. But what the heck, it's their book and it's still a good one.
You gotta have Gotta Hike BC May 8, 2003

My wife and I took a two-week vacation last September driving from the Rockies to Vancouver. It 's great this guidebook covers all the incredible mountain ranges in southern British Columbia, so we needed only one book. We've hiked often in the Rockies national parks of Alberta, but this book describes hikes in the Rockies that are just west of the parks. And we were usually alone on the trails. Then we hiked in the snowcapped Selkirks of Glacier NP (Canada's not the U.S.). We did a few dayhikes in the Kootenays around Nelson, BC. before heading to the Coast Mtns between Vancouver and Whistler. The hikes were all terrific. And the directions were easy to follow--to the trailheads and on the trail. Gotta Hike was fun to read in the car too. It's a hiking guide with personality. Don't miss getting this book or experiencing the best hikes in B.C.
