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.

With over 15,000 copies sold, Cycling the Kettle Valley has proven to be a remarkable resource for anyone interested in the stunning abandoned railbed located in the southern interior of British Columbia. One of the premier rail trails in North America, it contains spectacular sections through impressive canyons requiring tunnels and trestles to carry the railbed through rock ridges and across mountain streams. Growing public interest in conservation of the railbed and its structures, along with government support, has resulted in many improvements in both access and safety. The Kettle Valley Railway and its many connectors offer the cyclist everything from easy day-riding to multi-day adventures through the magnificent scenery of southern British Columbia between Midway and Hope. This world-renowned guidebook includes detailed maps, safety tips, historic information, a listing of accommodations and a kilometre by kilometre guide to each of the Kettle Valley Railway subdivisions.

What is the longest, most exciting hiking and cycling trail in the world? It can only be The Great Trail. Spanning the entirety of Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic Oceans, this improbable route covers 24,000 kilometres. The Best of The Great Trail is the essential companion to this national trail. In volume 2, Michael Haynes completes his two-book set on The Great Trail, leading hikers and cyclists through thirty "must-see" trails of Western Canada in five provinces. Beginning in downtown Victoria, Haynes sets off for the forests and coasts of Vancouver Island before heading east into British Columbia's mountainous interior, the foothills of Alberta, the plains of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and the rugged terrain of northern Ontario. Along the way, he explores the imposing Rocky Mountains, the grasslands of Saskatchewan and Manitoba, the unforgiving shoreline of Lake Superior, and the urban centres of Edmonton, Saskatoon, and Winnipeg. Illustrated in full colour with detailed maps and sumptuous photographs, The Best of The Great Trail, Volume 2 is a "must have" for both experienced outdoors people and armchair travellers who want to explore the wonders of this phenomenal trail.
