⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“This is everything you want from a guidebook — with all the ease of use & accessibility & gorgeous pictures — but with the insight and sensitivity that make it a real, caring work of art rather than just a practical collection of maps & data for the glove compartment. Clear, unpretentious language, helpful info, & fantastic images. The author knows and loves these trails.”
— Charles Demers, author, Vancouver Special
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“While I liked Stephen’s first guide book, Destination Hikes is even better since in this book is free from the strict two page format required in the 103/105 Hikes series. As always, his books are well written and researched with easy to read maps and beautiful photos. I really liked the ‘destination’ angle of this book as it allows hikers to do a hike and also visit a viewpoint, historical site, nature reserve, etc. in the same area — it’s a day trip book designed for hikers.”
— Taryn Eyton, author, Backpacking in Southwestern British Columbia
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“As an active hiker in BC, I’m always searching for new and interesting hikes. This book doesn’t disappoint. So many great hikes I’ve never heard of before. With the detailed information and additional information on each hike and area, this will be my go to book for the foreseeable future.”
— Hiker Steve
“It’s a great book for anybody that is already a hiker, who wants to get back out and to get hiking.”
— Jill Bennett, host, The Jill Bennett Show, 980 CKNW
“As a guide, [Stephen] Hui is difficult to match, warning us about summer’s crop of migrating toadlets and advising us to appreciate tiger’s eye mushrooms as you follow Village Lake Trail on the path to Dennett Lake.”
— Tri-Cities Dispatch
