Some things should remain hidden Jul 28, 2003
We just returned from a trip to BC where we used this book in conjunction with others. Some of the information is useful, but time and time again we were disappointed, especially in the area of lodging. Several B&Bs and Lodges that were given very positive reviews were either very ordinary, motelish or were just plain dreadful. There is a good reason why these are hidden, and should remain so.

Best resource we had with us! Mar 19, 2004 By T. Rimmer "trimmer31"
This book was wonderful -- we did a trip along the Yellowhead using it to direct us to lodging and the "hidden" best places -- and the only time we went wrong on our trip was when we didn't consult the book. We're planning another trip this year, because we didn't get to all the places the book directed us to.

BTW -- Louise's Kitchen in Smithers has what may arguably be the best food in Western Canada!

A quality travel experience to any heading to the region, and makes for a perfect tote as well as a at-home planner Mar 03, 2006 By Midwest Book Review
Take a vacation and blend in some active sports or activities and you have an 'adventure getaway' of the type Ulysses Press specializes in - and one out of the ordinary, as its 'Hidden' series covers. Websites, walking tours, scenic drives, and both weekend and extended getaways are covered in Hidden British Columbia, which specializes in byways and lesser-known attractions and which deserves ongoing recommendation as a top travel choice for the region. From Fan Tan Alley, Canada's narrowest street, to tiny cafes, Hidden British Columbia provides a quality travel experience to any heading to the region, and makes for a perfect tote as well as a at-home planner.

Hidden British Columbia Aug 29, 2008 By JEFFREY SMITH "Jeff Smith"
Not a bad book that a few more maps and pictures would help complete. Great reviews of places and spots of interest. Recommend this book as a supplement to other travel books on these areas. More info on off road on the path, camping spots and hiking.
