Synopsis
With its island-studded Inside Passage, towering fjords, open-ocean beaches, quaint villages and sparkling cities, the BC coast is known as one of the world's great maritime cruising destinations. What many travellers may not realize is that you don't need to own a yacht or go on a cruise ship to explore it. This indispensable book shows how you can use BC's world-class ferry and coastal road system to reach the coast's most spectacular places in the comfort of your family car. And for those who want to go farther, lace on your hiking boots, grab a paddle, hop aboard a floatplane, or switch into four-wheel-drive and head off into the back of beyond--there's a lot more than just road travel in this book.
Newly revised and updated in 2008, each chapter has simple, straightforward "getting there" directions, information on recreation opportunities and local must-sees and points of interest. To inspire readers along the way and help dream up new trips, the book includes anecdotes and facts on local plants, trees, wildlife and sea life--all infused with the enthusiasm of two writers whose love of the coast spills over onto every page.

Soft cover. Condition: Fine. Revised. A very nice copy without flaw 6.5 X 8.5" 400 pages. Illustrated with maps and black/white photographs. Occupying the 500-mile space between the 49th parallel and Alaska, the BC coast complicated itself into some twenty thousand miles of intricately entwined inlets, islands and channels. It boasts a maritime wilderness beyond measure, as well as the world's most treacherous ocean graveyard and the most enchanting inland sea. It is a land of ancient, crumbling totem poles and humming high-speed ferries, of towering, desolate fjords and vibrant, modern resorts. Thanks to the world's most highly developed ferry system you can explore the BC coast in comfort with your vehicle. This book is divided into nine chapters covering the coast's main geographic regions. Each begins with a brief overview, then takes you through the area from one end to the other. It is a thorough and practical travel guide carefully organized and laid out in an easy-to-use format and the authors have spared no effort to make sure you have all the background information you need to make the most of your coastal explorations. Even those who know the coast well will find the book worth having for its overall portrait of coastal history and contemporary life. **Bundle Up * Save On Postage**. Seller Inventory # 580361
