From the Author:

book gets rave review from local publication
From: Vancouver Magazine, December 1997 issue. "Vancouver Sun Recreation Editor Dawn Hanna shares her encyclopedic knowledge of Lower Mainland hiking trails, backroads and natural history in this beautifully conceived guidebook, which details nearly 80 excursions of all lengths and difficulty levels. Hanna -- who has hike everywhere from Spain's Sierra Nevada to the glaciers of Patagonia -- takes the Vancouver area as a starting point, giving step-by-step directions for finding and staying on local treks that begin as far away as Pemberton. Along the way, she makes detours into B.C. flora and fauna, back-country etiquette and First Nations place names. The guide's greatest strength is its details: they include trail and elevation maps, topographical-map references, colour coding by region, indices of hikes by duration, difficulty, month and season adn many colour photographs of Hanna and other adventurers standing amidst spectacular scenery. And special recognition is due to designers Carol S. Dragich and Gregory Brown, for creating an attractive book that not only is easy to use but fits easily into your jacket pocket. A must-buy for anyone who wants the very best information on how to enjoy our backyard wilderness.
