Known for its beautiful scenery and abundant forests, beaches, and wildlife, Vancouver Island is just a short ferry ride away from the bustling Lower Mainland. Get away from it all on a multi-day hike along the West Coast Trail, view some of the word's largest trees in Strathcona Provincial Park, reel in the catch of a lifetime in Campbell River (the "Salmon Capital of the World"), or explore the charming Gulf Islands by kayak - there are endless outdoor adventure opportunities! The Vancouver Island Backroad Mapbooks 10th Edition includes many map updates and cartographic style changes including new symbols for readability, updated road systems including added Overland Routes, updated Fish Species and stocking information, the addition of new Bonus Adventure sections, and much more.
