For the day hiker with bus fare you’ll find a double dozen destinations in coastal British Columbia. The Day Hiking section features a range of levels from easy to demanding in both urban and wilderness settings. The hikes featured in BC Car-Free: Exploring Southwestern British Columbia Without a Car are as close as North Vancouver and as far away as the Whistler – Squamish corridor and the Gulf Islands.
Lighthouse Park with Mount Gardner on Bowen Island in the background bristling with telecommunications hardware.
Novices will appreciate the handy hiking checklist that opens the hiking section.
