A must-have new edition of British Columbia’s best-selling hiking guidebook—with added trails near Victoria, the Sunshine Coast and north of Pemberton.
In the six years since it was first published, 105 Hikes has become the go-to guide for hiking in the province. Locals and tourists have come to trust Stephen Hui’s clear directions to trails from Pemberton to northern Washington State, Sooke and Manning Park. This new edition returns with a trail for every season, every ability, and every age.
Stretch your legs on a short hike to panoramic Tunnel Bluff or Mount Work. Test your stamina and route-finding abilities en route to remote One Duck Lake or Crossroads Peak. Boost your cardio on the short but steep Blackcomb Burn or the 79 Grind. Look for fairy doors on Mount Erskine or beavers at Lightning Lakes. Take the dog for a rainy day stroll to Fairview Bay or Mount Constitution.
105 Hikes is full of detail about the plants and animals along the trails, the people who’ve lived and worked in the area, the original names Indigenous peoples used for these places, and the changes wrought by weather and industry. Readers are encouraged to tread lightly on the land, understand how natural areas have shaped our province, and discover the mountains, rivers, forests, and ocean in this part of the world with curiosity and respect.
