Great Walks of Vancouver The Lower Mainland at Your Feet Charles Clapham Walk in easy stages from Vancouver to Mission — explore the Fraser River and its tributaries and find historic treasures you never knew existed. Go around Burrard Inlet and Burnaby Mountain — enjoy the green ravines that carry scores of creeks down from the mountains. Walk from Horseshoe Bay to the Peace Arch and continue to Fort Langley — enjoy Vancouver’s marine history and the peace of its southern farmlands. Walk across and around Vancouver without retracing your steps. Maps and complete instructions detail how to reach and follow each of the book’s one-way walks. Charles Clapham shows you how to leave your car at the end of the planned day’s walk, bus to the start and walk back to your car. Or better still, use the bus and leave your car at home. He makes suggestions for parking and transit, special points of interest, stops for coffee and lunch and—of crucial importance to all urban walkers—possible “pit stops.” Click here to see catalogue page Click here to read letter from reader weblog: http://greatwalksofvancouver.blogspot.com HIKING / VANCOUVER Trade paperback / 5.5” x 8.5” / 384 pages Granville Island Publishing ISBN 1-894694-30-9 / $15.95 US / $19.95 CDN

WALK HORSESHOE BAY TO THE U.S.A. Charles Clapham [This book] outlines in detail a route around the Strait of Georgia shoreline from the ferry dock at Horseshoe Bay to the Peace Arch, a distance of some 140km.That may sound like a rather ambitious hike, but Clapham has organized it into ten reasonable one-day expeditions. His philosophy is that hiking should begin about 9 a.m., finishing at 2 p.m.; in time to get home for tea. This is a civilized approach that leaves the evening free, with ample time to recover. . . . Sometimes this book tells us as much about Clapham as it does about the route. In that case, is he the sort of person you'd like to hike with? The answer is definitely yes. — Patrick Brown, Island Tides HIKING / VANCOUVER Paper / 5.5" x 8.5" / 112 pages ISBN 0-89716-825-9 / $14.95 CDN / $12.95 US
