An illustrated guide to British Columbia’s most popular nature getaways and best-kept secrets.

The well-known slogan for Canada’s westernmost province is “Super, Natural British Columbia,” a fitting tribute to its legendary natural beauty. The entire province is richly blessed with lush rainforests, snowcapped mountains, rugged coastlines and unique wildlife.

100 Nature Hot Spots in British Columbia is a beautifully illustrated guidebook that explores this province’s remarkable splendour and natural diversity. Each entry includes a descriptive destination profile, beautiful four-colour photographs and at-a-glance information about special features and the location.

The hot spots are divided into six chapters — Vancouver Island and the Coast; Central British Columbia; Lower Mainland; Okanagan, Similkameen and Area; Kootenay Region; and Northern British Columbia. Here are just some of the destinations featured: Bowen Island; Enderby Cliffs Provincial Park; Golden Ears Provincial Park; Hot Springs Cove; Othello Tunnels; Botanical Beach; Gwaii Haanas National Park Reserve; Top of the World Provincial Park; Whistler Olympic Park; Desolation Sound Marine Protected Area; George C. Reifel Migratory Bird Sanctuary; Knox Mountain; Bear and Salmon Glaciers; Bella Coola Valley.

The locations have been carefully selected to appeal to a wide audience, from locals and visitors to families and outdoor enthusiasts. Anyone who is eager to discover new places in British Columbia to hike, photograph wildlife, camp and paddle, whether going on a day trip, a weekend getaway or an extended holiday, will welcome this thorough guidebook.

British Columbia is an increasingly popular global destination, with over nine million visitors in 2016.
