Future Titles
We're always hard at work researching new projects and updating current titles. Hikers, climbers and backcountry skiers are busy exploring new routes all over Vancouver Island and the west coast and we're excited to bring this news to you in our new editions. Here are some of the projects we are currently working on.
Coastal Hikes 2
A Guide to West Coast Hiking in British Columbia & Washington
Coastal Hikes 2 is the new, updated and long overdue version of the popular, original Coastal Hikes (2007). Like all the current versions of Wild Isle guidebooks it will be in full colour with updated maps, photographs and a new section on coastal day hikes. An invaluable trip planning guide to the best of west coast hiking.
Projected release: T.B.A.
Strathcona Alpine
A Guide to the Mountains of Strathcona Park, Vancouver Island
Strathcona Alpine will be the first of three books that will replace the cherished but now out-of-print original Island Alpine. The focus will be on details of the hiking and less technical routes on all the significant mountain peaks within Strathcona Park and to the west of the park - basically the central part of Vancouver Island.
