This guide shows how to use British Columbia's world-class ferry and coastal road system to reach the area's most spectacular places. For those who want to go further, there are details on hiking, canoeing, four-wheeling, and exploring by floatplane. Nine chapters on different regions describe points of interest and recreation opportunities and give directions and contacts for outfitters, ferries, and accommodations, along with historical anecdotes and facts about local plants, trees, wildlife, and sealife. B&w photos and a brief history of the region are included. Diane Eaton has written other travel books; Allison Eaton, who took many of the photos in the book, has a degree in communications from Simon Fraser University.
