This book was released on 2018-05-22 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The all-new, expanded follow-up to southwestern British Columbia’s best-selling hiking guidebook—now featuring trails on the islands and northern Washington. For nearly fifty years, David and Mary Macaree’s iconic 103 Hikes in Southwestern British Columbia has been the province’s most popular and most trusted hiking guide, with more than 100,000 copies sold to date. Author Stephen Hui carries on the Macarees’ legacy in 105 Hikes in and around Southwestern British Columbia—an all-new, expanded follow-up inspired by their beloved classic. With an additional selection of trails on the Gulf Islands and in Washington’s North Cascades, options for hiking with children, and rainy day recommendations, 105 Hikes covers a wider area and wider range of abilities than its predecessor. Like the Macarees, Hui provides detailed information about how to get to each trailhead (including transit options, where available), distance and elevation gains, estimated hiking times, and points of natural or historical interest. But he also includes all-new features such as an at-a-glance summary of all the hikes in the book; tips for hiking safely and ethically; clear, topographical color maps; a rating system for hike quality and difficulty; Indigenous place names where appropriate; and shorter or longer options for every outing.

Book excerpt: **NOTE: This is the color copy of the book. There is also a less expensive and smaller black and white edition for purchase (search for ISBN: 1980326142)**Are you wondering where to take your little one (ages 18 months-6 years) hiking in around Vancouver, Washington? Tired of the same old paved trails and looking for something that is less risky for kiddos but also fun for us adults? Want some tips on how to build hiking confidence and skills, all while engaging with your kiddos in nature?Well read on! I've written this book to help local families in Southwest Washington find non-paved hikes that are not only skill-appropriate and confidence-building for their little kids but are also interesting to us as adults. This book includes hikes of different skill levels and is meant to give you options as kids' hiking skills develop. Each hike entry also has trail-specific tips and interesting facts that will help you engage with your kiddos on that particular trail. This book is appropriate for newbie hikers and avid hikers alike. You'll need to do your own research on gear and assessing your own skills but I do offer some ideas on how to get started. Thankfully, there is a wealth of information online about how to get out hiking with your kids, what to wear, and gear to buy. The information lacking seems to be WHERE TO GO! This book covers urban and wilderness hikes, year round and seasonal hikes, hikes high up in the mountains, deep in the forest, and along waterways. I'm excited to share my family's passion with others and inspire you to get out with your kids and explore!
