This review is from: Stikine River: A Guide to Paddling the Great River (Paperback)

I used this guidebook to paddle the Stikine with a friend in August 2004. The river maps are great but not quite good enough to serve in place of topo maps -- we had both. We paddled both the Spatsizi to the upper Stikine and the lower Stikine to Wrengall. My biggest complaint is that many of her minor hiking trails didn't exist. This is unspoiled nature and if there is no trail, it will take you HOURS to trek a mile. Other than that, the book was quite informative and had good descriptions of the few rapids encountered. The Stikine River itself is remote and gorgeous. It's an adventure I won't forget!
