Great Walks of Vancouver: The Lower Mainland at Your Feet
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
Walk in easy stages from Vancouver to Mission-explore the Fraser River and its tributaries and find historic treasures you never knew existed.
Go around Burrard Inlet and Burnaby Mountain-enjoy the green ravines that carry scores of creeks down from the mountains.
Walk from Horseshoe Bay to the Peace Arch and continue to Fort Langley-enjoy Vancouver's marine history and the peace of its southern farmlands.
Walk across and around Vancouver without retracing your steps. Maps and complete instructions detail how to reach and follow each of the book's one-way walks. Charles Clapham shows you how to leave your car at the end of the planned day's walk, bus to the start and walk back to your car. Or better still, use the bus and leave your car at home. He makes suggestions for parking and transit, special points of interest, stops for coffee and lunch and-of crucial importance to all urban walkers-possible "pit stops."
About the Author
Charles Clapham is a retired mathematician who hikes and walks for a hobby. He and his wife Doris have hiked in Canada, the United States, Mexico, Switzerland, France, Britain, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. In the summer, they like to hike the high country of British Columbia, but in the fall and winter months, they explore the urban trails of Greater Vancouver. One year they may poke round West Vancouver and another year, explore the flat lands of Richmond and Delta. In the spring, while the snow is still on the high country, they like to explore the hills around Victoria and meander through the Gulf Islands.
