Explore Vancouver Island's diverse trails with Squamish author Taryn Eyton's latest hiking guidebook.
If you are thinking of hiking on Vancouver Island this summer, you might want to consider picking up this new guidebook to tuck into your backpack.
After Eyton released her first book, people asked her if it included Vancouver Island, which it didn't. Focusing on the island, where she likes to hike anyway, seemed like a natural fit for her second hiking book. The hikes featured run the gamut from easy to more advanced, and from well-known favourites to trails some may never have heard of.
"The challenge, unless you hike by yourself, is that I'm working. My friends who are hiking with me are on vacation. So, balancing those different mindsets of me going, 'Yeah, I know, you don't feel like you're ready for a break. But I need to take a picture of this toilet,' " she said, with a laugh.
