DOWNLOAD EBOOKMore than any other geographic feature, waterfalls have the power to delight and inspire. Mile for mile, British Columbia boasts perhaps the richest array of waterfalls in the world, with many parks created around awe-inspiring spectacles of falling water. Waterfalls of British Columbia is the first and only guidebook to focus on BC's spectacular waterfalls. It includes Kinuseo Falls, one of Canada's premier waterfalls, and renowned Helmcken, Hunlen, Takakkaw and Della falls as well as ninety-six lesserknown but equally magical locations of cascading splendour, with up-to-date maps and detailed trail descriptions for each destination. Organized by region, each entry has a description of height, geology and geomorphology as well as an explanation of how the falls were discovered and named. Greenfield's expertise in geology, silviculture, ornithology and a love for British Columbia's beautiful backcountry provides fascinating highlights to each site, including which wild flowers, trees and birds to watch for on the trail. Filled with colour photos, useful information, interesting anecdotes and history, Waterfalls of British Columbia will not just get readers there, but will help interpret and enhance their experience. This unique guide is suitable for daytrippers and dedicated backcountry enthusiasts alike.

For nearly fifty years, David and Mary Macaree’s iconic 103 Hikes in Southwestern British Columbia has been the province’s most popular and most trusted hiking guide, with more than 100,000 copies sold to date. Author Stephen Hui carries on the Macarees’ legacy in 105 Hikes in and around Southwestern British Columbia—an all-new, expanded follow-up inspired by their beloved classic. With an additional selection of trails on the Gulf Islands and in Washington’s North Cascades, options for hiking with children, and rainy day recommendations, 105 Hikes covers a wider area and wider range of abilities than its predecessor.

But he also includes all-new features such as an at-a-glance summary of all the hikes in the book; tips for hiking safely and ethically; clear, topographical color maps; a rating system for hike quality and difficulty; Indigenous place names where appropriate; and shorter or longer options for every outing.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis particular ebook in my Do Go Chasing Waterfalls series of ebooks (thanks TLC) will focus on the waterfalls & cascades that emanate along the Upper Athabasca River and Helmet Creek in the majestic Canadian Rockies. The Upper Athabasca River flows down from Athabasca Glacier’s foot alongside the Upper Athabasca riverside section of the Icefields Parkway main roadway. This is about 30 miles south of the town of Jasper inside Jasper National Park of Parks Canada. I highly recommend a picnic lunch hike from the Jasper Tramway to anyone visiting this favorite Canadian National Park. Just as crucial is a trip to Spirit Island by boat on Moraine Lake being an absolute must as well… see you soaking in the three main hot springs bordering Jasper National Park. I will concentrate on describing the background particulars of Athabasca Falls and Helmet Falls in this eBook as well as the cascades surrounding those falls and below the remote backcountry icefield and glaciers. The Icefields Parkway is the main artery to access the Skyline Trail backcountry camping trek. It runs through Yoho and Kootenai National Parks of Parks Canada. The Skyline Trail backcountry, Rockwall Trail, and Ice Line hike are epic and can be further viewed via video internet web links at the end of this eBook. Do Go Chasing Waterfalls is taking a look at Helmet Falls and Athabasca Falls in the picturesque Canadian Rockies! Because Kootenay National Park, BC, and Jasper National Park, Alberta's, waterfall treasures' HD videos, pictures, & sounds from Canada & the USA completely rock and are super cool! Ultra sweetness!...
