Mr. Grover speaks from years of personal experience and he writes down to the smallest detail, which is very helpful when you are visiting a place for the first time or are inexperienced. He gives many hints and tips of things of particular interest to look out for and seems to know all the trails and areas like the back of his hand. On top of this, he provides plenty of information on bus and ferry schedules, fees, and what routes NOT to take.
Mr. Grover has a humourous and down to earth writing style, which makes for a very accessible book about our very accessible wilderness.

The pictures and bits of useful and interesting information peppered througout make it very browsable. The maps for each activity are really clear and easy to use. A great outdoor guide even if you take a car.
Now if the author would do a “BC Car Free: How to get to urban adventures in BC” book, I could get to urban activities in the same mode of transport and frame of mind…

The trips described have just the right amount of detail. The author gets you interested, tells you how to get there but doesn’t get too carried away with his own impressions. I have made good use of this book since I picked it up and I heartily recommend it.
