I have been following the website for years and I'm glad to have the physical book to take with me on my adventures! We live in such a beautiful area, I'm glad Abby could capture what we should be utilizing around our own homes!

Ignore the bitter 4 star curmudgeons. This hiking guide is the bomb of West Kootenay hiking guides. The layout is spectacular, lots of information but not too much, GPS tracks for those that want them, etc. I've never met the author but I bought this in pre-production a few months before it was finished. When I emailed Abby on, literally, zero notice that I was in Nelson and wanted to pick up my book, she dropped it in her delivery box within the hour. You're not getting convenience like that from the giant, nameless and faceless, publishing houses that ignore everything that isn't a hiking trail starting from the Starbucks at Whistler. If you want to hike the Kootenays and not bushwack your way through soul-crushing alder or devil's club that shreds the toughest of hiking pants, get this book. I mean, uou won't get MY version because I bought the special edition with Abby's art cover but you can settle for second best with the standard edition. For once, second best is gold too!

West Kootenay Hiking is an essential guidebook for outdoor enthusiasts looking to explore one of British Columbia’s most stunning regions. With a wealth of detailed information, this book covers a vast range of hiking trails across the West Kootenay area, making it an invaluable companion for both novice and seasoned hikers.
Wilson provides clear, well-organized trail descriptions, complete with practical details like distance, difficulty level, and estimated time. The inclusion of high-quality photographs and easy-to-follow directions enhances the user experience, helping hikers navigate the terrain with confidence and excitement.
Whether you’re searching for a challenging summit or a peaceful lakeside stroll, West Kootenay Hiking delivers inspiration and guidance in equal measure. A must-have resource for anyone eager to discover the beauty and variety of hiking opportunities in this breathtaking corner of Canada.

Only wish is for more short easy hikes for older people

Abby's newly released hiking book 'West Kootenay Hiking' continues to be a huge success for our bookstore in Rossland, BC. The customer feedback has been excellent. This is a MUST HAVE for outdoor enthusiasts to the West Kootenay region.

A good intro to exploring the Kootenays. Directions to access and descriptions of the hikes are clear and concise.
