Kootenay Trips and Trails

By Murphy Shewchuk, 342 pages 

From backcountry exploring to lounging in hot springs, southern British Columbia's Kootenay-Columbia region has it all:

• A rich and colourful mining history that rivals the famous Cariboo;
• the province's highest peaks;
• the best alpine heli-skiing;
• the most historic rail-trails;
• the biggest lakes;
• orchards, wineries and breweries.

This is a land that can keep you enthralled for years.

Murphy Shewchuk's Kootenay Trips & Trails will help you explore the region from the US Boundary north to Valemount, and from the height of the Rockies west to the Okanagan — all done with personal insights, detailed descriptions, and full-colour maps and photographs.
