New Book: Backpacking in Southwestern British Columbia
B.C. hiker Taryn Eyton runs the fantastic site Happiest Outdoors, which is a great resource for all your backpacking questions and inspiration. Her first book, Backpacking in Southwestern British Columbia was just as it is described… ‘a one-stop resource for backpackers’ and now she has released her second book, Backpacking on Vancouver Island.
Vancouver Island is home to legendary backpacking routes, and this expertly researched book takes you to the best of the best, whether you’re looking for a weekend trip to a mountain peak, a multi-day adventure to a secluded beach, or an easy day trip to a waterfall. The author, Taryn Eyton, is an experienced backpacker and Leave No Trace Master Educator. In addition to sharing the best backpacking routes on the Island, she provides practical advice to promote fun wilderness experiences and minimize your environmental impact.
Every featured backpacking trip includes:
Elevation, distance, and time information
Route descriptions and trail maps
Points of cultural and natural history
Tips on where to camp and where to find water
Information about fees, permits, and reservations
