This guide is the best of all the ones available. The directions are clear and easy to follow. And there is lots of info about stuff you see along the way. Things you don't find in any of the other books. The pictures are beautiful too. An inspiration to hikers of all levels.

5.0 out of 5 stars This Is The One, June 15, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Best Hikes & Walks of Southwestern British Columbia (Paperback)

A Vancouver group of friends decided to start walking and hiking for pesonal challenge and a chance to enjoy the beautiful place they lived in. For a few months they limped along with few, outdated, and poorly described hiking guides. One of them read about Dawn Hanna's new book on the internet, purchased it, and I'd like to thank Dawn for providing the kind of guide we've been looking for.

This easy-to-use, fits-your-pocket gem provides well-described directions and levels of challenge, along with maps and climatic information, as well as wonderful legends & history; Dawn's passion for hiking the area is inspiring. This book is a got-to-take item for your hikes, only preceded by your water bottle.

1.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't know her left from her right, April 7, 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Best Hikes & Walks of Southwestern British Columbia (Paperback)

The walks in this book are lovely. However, the directions are hopeless. I have had several people try to follow the routes described, and the consensus is that the author cannot tell her left from her right.

As a general guide, wherever she says go left, go right and then you will get to the points she describes.

The book is a waste of space in a rucksack - buy something else.
