The less travelled backroads of Vancouver Island may lead you to old logging camps, decaying trestles, spectacular vistas or seascapes and wildlife such as black bears. Richard K. Blier's Island Backroads, Hiking, Camping and Paddling on Vancouver Island ( Orca $16.95) offers the island adventurer a complete guide to planning a trip that gets away from the more heavily travelled highways to the scenic byways. 1-55143-097-5
