Most hikes in the book are day hikes or backpacking trips into the mountains, while some other hikes are short and easy walks in the lowlands. Janice's detailed trail and road directions and her enthusiastic personal narratives, help hikers of all skill levels.
The hiking trial guide book features short and easy hikes for beginner or casual hikers. Most of the hikes are moderate full day hikes into the backcountry of the East Kootenay mountains and her book also offers directions and routes for multi-day backpacking trips into the mountain wilderness.

The"Third Edition - Updated" of my hiking guide book includes about 20 changes and updates,
taking up 4 pages of text. Including minor things like map line changes, minor and some major updates or corrections and some new route changes.
The new edition book was released -- Spring 2011 and it includes all these corrections (so you don't have to print them.)
See DELETED HIKES from Previous editions Hikes change and to make room for the new hikes, I had to eliminate some. Some Deleted hikes are overgrown or in some cases they have been cleared out again.
See BACKROADS FORUM to get the latest in roads around the Kootenay backcountry. I post information as it becomes available throughout the summer about the condition of the Kootenay Backroads.
