Hiking Trails I

Hiking combines the physical health benefits of cardiovascular exercise with the mental health benefits of admiring the beauty of nature. New Brunswick offers a dizzying array of hiking challenges and a beauty beyond belief. In an expanded and updated 3rd edition of this popular book, veteran hikers Marianne and H.A. Eiselt take us from one end of New Brunswick to the other, along river valleys, through National Parks, around the coasts, and up and down mountains. Fully illustrated with photographs and detailed maps derived from satellite imaging, this comprehensive guide includes more than 60 trails, with descriptions of the physical details of the trail (length, difficulty, ascent, hiking time, etc.) as well as tips and sidebars describing local flora and fauna, places of interest, monuments, and landmarks. This new edition of the Eiselt's popular guide is the first in a series of new guides published by Goose Lane Editions in association with TrailsCanada. TrailsCanada is a project of Go for Green, a national organization that encourages Canadians to pursue healthy, outdoor physical activities that protect, enchance, or restore the environment.

The all-new, expanded follow-up to southwestern British Columbia’s best-selling hiking guidebook—now featuring trails on the islands and northern Washington. 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. Like the Macarees, Hui provides detailed information about how to get to each trailhead (including transit options, where available), distance and elevation gains, estimated hiking times, and points of natural or historical interest. 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.
