Product Description
Combining unique travel choices, outdoor adventures, and little-known locales into guides where vacations meet adventures, each title in the Hidden series also offers readers the comfort of detailed maps, Internet information for each listing, author picks, suggested itineraries, and walking and driving tours. This updated edition of Hidden British Columbia offers year-round adventure advice on the best winter skiing, spring river rafting, summer sea kayaking, and fall hiking, as well as information on 135 parks, beaches, and wilderness areas. Accommodation options include cozy B&Bs, historic urban hotels, coastal inns, and alpine chalets. The author also provides in-depth coverage of British Columbia's less-visited regions including the Kootenays, Okanagan, and far-flung Cariboo. This edition includes 21 maps.

 Hidden British Columbia August 29, 2008
Not a bad book that a few more maps and pictures would help complete. Great reviews of places and spots of interest. Recommend this book as a supplement to other travel books on these areas. More info on off road on the path, camping spots and hiking.
 A quality travel experience to any heading to the region, and makes for a perfect tote as well as a at-home planner March 3, 2006

Take a vacation and blend in some active sports or activities and you have an 'adventure getaway' of the type Ulysses Press specializes in - and one out of the ordinary, as its 'Hidden' series covers. Websites, walking tours, scenic drives, and both weekend and extended getaways are covered in Hidden British Columbia, which specializes in byways and lesser-known attractions and which deserves ongoing recommendation as a top travel choice for the region. From Fan Tan Alley, Canada's narrowest street, to tiny cafes, Hidden British Columbia provides a quality travel experience to any heading to the region, and makes for a perfect tote as well as a at-home planner.
Best resource we had with us! March 19, 2004

This book was wonderful -- we did a trip along the Yellowhead using it to direct us to lodging and the "hidden" best places -- and the only time we went wrong on our trip was when we didn't consult the book. We're planning another trip this year, because we didn't get to all the places the book directed us to.BTW -- Louise's Kitchen in Smithers has what may arguably be the best food in Western Canada!
 Some things should remain hidden July 28, 2003

We just returned from a trip to BC where we used this book in conjunction with others. Some of the information is useful, but time and time again we were disappointed, especially in the area of lodging. Several B&Bs and Lodges that were given very positive reviews were either very ordinary, motelish or were just plain dreadful. There is a good reason why these are hidden, and should remain so.
