Follow the trails to some of the Kootenays' most memorable waterfalls with a full-colour hiking guide built for exploring southeastern British Columbia on foot. In Waterfall Hikes Southern British Columbia: Volume 1 - The Kootenays , Steve Tersmette brings together waterfall destinations throughout the Kootenay region and gives readers the practical information needed to reach them. These are not simply roadside viewpoints or a photographer's list of scenic falls. The hikes themselves are part of the experience. Routes range in length and difficulty, with maps and trail descriptions to help readers choose an outing and understand what lies ahead. Full-colour photography shows the character of each waterfall and its surrounding landscape, whether the goal is an easy family outing, a satisfying day hike or a new place to explore with a camera. Tersmette lives in Kimberley and has spent years hiking, climbing and mountaineering in the Purcells and Canadian Rockies. His first volume turns that local knowledge into a practical guide for residents, road-trippers and visitors looking for another way into the landscapes of southeastern British Columbia.
