Thank you for this amazing hiking guide book! Well organized and so easy to navigate. Includes a hike for everyone! I bought one of each

Thankyou
My Special edition with your artwork is a keepsake

Beautiful book. All aspects are useful and beautiful. Great job. I have shown a lot of people the book and they are purchasing one.

I have quite few hiking books for Canada and the US, but this one is now my favourite!
I started hiking the West Kootenays last year in the 7 Summits area. Abby’s book with all its beautiful pictures has inspired me to explore this area all summer this year!
Thank you Abby!

So much helpful information and detail. I love all the pictures too!

A exceptional trail guide that is extremely durable. I wouldn’t hesitate to throw this in my pack to supply guidance when out trekking.
Well done.

I love my new hiking guide, it is so easy to use and a beautiful product. Thank you, Abby!!

Excellent hiking guide for young, old and between age hiker, for solo, group or family. All infos that one needs to have
a great time hiking in West Kootenays - area maps, difficulty ratings, detailed hiking directions and access to hiking
trail heads by vehicles, the best time of season to hike to experience a beauty of wildflower meadows, straight, easy to follow hiking trail maps. I like added elevation profiles, all extra info for every trail needs,
cautions, good advice for parking, tenting, backpacking the best point of views and more. Downloadable GPX files and stunning photographs of every hike are priceless bonuses to this hiking guide book.
Only the experienced hiker can give not only infos on good hiking trails but excellent history of hiking areas.
The nice water resistant book covers is a great feature as well.

Abby, I really like your West Kootenay Hiking Guidebook. I brought it home and spent a good deal of time scanning and reading it from cover to caver. I explored hikes I was familiar with and read about hikes I've wanted to do for a while. I also discovered some places I wasn't aware of. It's a good mix of hikes and hike types. Now I've got to get out there and explore some of these trails. Thanks.

The Kootenay Cottage in Harrop provides this book to all our guests during their stay. The only hiking book to have!

The overview, details, and layout all make this a really user friendly guide. My family and I will be using this a ton!

Got my copy and am so inspired to explore now! Love all the photos, maps, directions, descriptions, all the informative extra bits. Feel like I am in good hands when following West Kootenay Hiking. I also really like the range of trips on offer; the locations, lengths, experiences, ability levels, seasons. Anyone can find a hike of their liking. Thank you for putting so much experience, effort and love into this book!
