Waterfall Hikes in Southern British Columbia: The Kootenays

Autorentext

Steve Tersmette was introduced to the mountains by his father at a young age and grew up hiking and backpacking in the Canadian Rockies. In 2006 he moved to Kimberley, where he continues to explore the mountains with his friends, wife, and two young children. In 2017, along with his best friend and climbing partner, he became the first to traverse the Purcell Mountains on foot in the summer by trekking from near Kimberley to Rogers Pass. Steve is also an avid climber and mountaineer and has established first ascents and new climbing routes in both the Purcells and the Rockies. He actively volunteers with the East Kootenay Climbing Association to advocate for, maintain, and develop outdoor climbing in southeastern BC. He lives in Kimberley, British Columbia.

Klappentext

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 in Southern British Columbia: 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. This 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.
