Southwest British Columbia offers outstanding mountain biking routes. This guidebook provides the information mountain bikers of all levels need to get out of the city and experience great riding in beautiful, uncrowded areas of British Columbia.
The described routes were selected for their aesthetic and riding quality. Alpine destinations and hidden lakes, hot springs and canyons, old-growth groves, and wild rivers give flavor to the selected rides, each no more than four hours of travel from Vancouver.
Because many different elements affect the quality of a mountain bike tour, the author pays particular attention to the details of each trail. Each trail description includes information on distance, duration, terrain surface, and best times to go. Distance logs mark your place on the trail and accurate elevation profiles help you select the best ride. With tips on gear, preparation, health, trail ethics, and etiquette, this is the only mountain biking guidebook you'll need to bike this incredible wilderness.
