Streetwise Vancouver Map is a laminated city center map of Vancouver, Canada. The accordion-fold pocket size travel map has an integrated Sky Train & Express Lineroutes & stations.Coverage includes:Main Vancouver Map 1:26,000Downtown Vancouver Map 1:12,500Vancouver Area Map 1:120,000Downtown Victoria, BC Map 1:14,000University of British Columbia Map 1:57,000Dimensions: 4" x 8.5" folded, 8.5" x 24" unfoldedThere are plenty of sites in Vancouver and getting around to seeing them all is easy. If you're staying in the city (and you probably are) you can walk to most attractions. The Vancouver Museum highlights the growth and development of Vancouver from an outpost of fishing and forestry to a world class city. Science World is a great spot to take the kids so they can experience the interactive exhibitions and see an eye-popping OMNIMAX presentation. Adults will appreciate spending the time on Granville Island, a former dingy collection of rusty warehouses now transformed into galleries, shops, artists' studios and home to a thriving public market the perfect place to pick up provision for a picnic. The best place to start your visit is Vancouver Lookout at Harbour Centre. Take a 45 second ride up a glass elevator to arrive at a spectacular 360° view of the city, the surrounding communities, the harbour and the mountains beyond. On a clear day you may even see Vancouver Island. What you notice most when you re perched above the city is how green it is. As the city developed over the years, a large tract of forest was set aside, over 1,000 acres, destined to remain wild and serve as a reminder of whence the city originated. So began Stanley Park. Located right in the heart of the city, this green sanctuary is crisscrossed with walking trails and surrounded by English Bay and a 6 mile seawall - a lovely place for a stroll at sunset. Within the park are tennis courts, playgrounds, a miniature golf course, restaurants, snack bars and cafes, the Vancouver Aquarium, the Lost Lagoon where you can feed ducks and raccoons, swimming beaches, a pool, a miniature railroad for the kids, totem poles and a cannon that goes off precisely at 9 PM each evening. The capital of British Columbia is located at the tip of Vancouver Island, across the Straight of Georgia from Vancouver. Very British in nature, Victoria has the mildest climate in all of Canada. You can get to Victoria by taking the 1 ½ hour ferry ride from Tsawwassen, in south Vancouver to Swartz Bay, about a half an hour from Victoria. Whatever adventure you choose in this corner of Western Canada, the STREETWISE® Vancouver Map will assist you. The main map covers all of Downtown along with Stanley Park, Gastown, Chinatown, West End, Yaletown and Granville Island. A separate inset map of the central downtown area highlights hotels, sites, SKYTRAIN stations, shopping, government and educational sites and the cruise ship terminal, where cruises to Alaska start and end. A map of the Vancouver area extends from the southern suburb of Richmond to North and West Vancouver, from Burnaby to Sea Island, including the Vancouver International Airport. All major highways and thoroughfares are depicted along with exit numbers and sites. An inset of the University of BC campus is included as well as an inset of downtown Victoria, BC. To enhance your visit to Vancouver, check out the Michelin Green Guide Canada which details sites and attractions using the famed Michelin star-rating system so you can prioritize your trip based on your time and interest. For driving or to plan your trip to and from Vancouver, use Michelin USA/Canada West Map No. 585 or Michelin Canada Map 766. Read more

Dimensions: 4” x 9” closed, 9” x 24” open.Contents: Vancouver Region Map” 1:2,000,000 Metro Vancouver/Lower Mainland Map 1:250,000; Vancouver Street Map 1:55,000; Downtown Vancouver Detail Map: 1:20,000; Stanley Park Detail Map: 1:35,000; Coal Harbor Detail Map: 1:15,000; Richmond-Delta-Surrey Map: 1:250,000; Vancouver Burnaby Map: 1:250,000;StreetSmart Vancouveris so legible you will instantly understand how Downtown connects with Granville Island, Robson with Stanley Park, Point Grey with Kitsilano, English Bay with Yaletown, and get the overview of the Lower Mainland in context with Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands in the Salish Sea.StreetSmart Vancouver lets you navigate Vancouver with ease and confidence. So whether you want to hike from Coal Harbor to English Bay, take the ferry from Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay on Vancouver Island, are visiting friends on Bowen Island for the weekend, experience world class Chinese cuisine in Richmond, shop at Harry Rosen –- for truly the best in menswear, visit the famed Andropology Museum at UBC or just go for a run in Stanley Park, our map covers it all.StreetSmart Vancouver No other city boasts an urban rainforest equal to Stanley Park. Our map guides you on the 8 km run along the water’s edge from Coal Harbour to English Bay as well inland hikes with a stop in at the restaurants and teahouses that make this urban lung an unforgettable experience. The majesty of Douglas fir, Western red cedar and hemlock are breathtaking and hint at the riches of the rainforests on Vancouver Island and the remote Islands — Cortes for instance in Desolation Sound— where wolves run in packs and a bear may just feast at the other side of a lovely salmonberry bush.StreetSmart Vancouver maps a city unique in many ways. It may be the only city on the continent to boast three thriving Chinese communities speaking different languages and forming distinct communities: These include the descendants of Chinese immigrant workers who built the trans Canada railroads in the 1880s — 5th and 6th generation Canadians, the Hong Kong ren who left Hong Kong before the handover to China in the late 1990 — who brought class, money and sophisticated cuisine — and the nouveau rich Mandarin billionaires — the most recent arrivals — who seem to prefer orange Lamborghinis. As a result the culinary offerings stretch from $3.00 street food in Richmond — check out North America’s biggest night market — to Bird Nest & Seafood Soup at Kirin for $130 on Alberni St. These days the lingua franca heard in the streets is Mandarin. Vancouver is rightfully known as the most sophisticated Asian food city in North America. StreetSmart Vancouver A local Vancouver arts impresario commented on our map cover as a perfect commentary on the most fundamental issue facing BC: who owns the land. 
As native people claim the entire province and absent any agreements between first Nation Peoples and the Canadian government this issue remains unresolved and central to understanding Vancouver and British Columbia. Get a StreetSmart Vancouver map and become an instant Vancouverite! " Read more

Katie Mitzel has spent the last twenty years as a chef in these lodges, joyfully feeding hungry travelers who have journeyed hundreds of miles to have their own backcountry adventures. Whether you're wilderness hiking, off-piste skiing, or simply relaxing, the backcountry offers total immersion in the stunning mountains, coupled with the allure of completely unplugging from daily life.     In Rocky Mountain Cooking, Katie shares her favorite lodge recipes, many taking inspiration from the colors and textures of mountains, glacial lakes, wildflowers, and starry nights. Her dishes are full of unexpected flavors and mouthwatering aromas, but are accessible enough to create at home, using ingredients readily available from the grocery store (brought into the backcountry for her on horseback or by snowmobile or helicopter!).

As a result, her food is simple, fulfilling, hearty, and comforting.    Start your day with Skillet-Baked Huevos Rancheros. Enjoy a hearty Summer Hiking Salad after a long trek or busy workday. Snack on some Climbers' Cookies at the top of a ski run. Then indulge in Baked Halibut with Scallops and Asparagus, along with a slice of Lemony Lavender Buttermilk Cake for dessert.

Map researcher and collector Derek Hayes here presents the sixth in a series of critically acclaimed, award-winning historical atlases. Gathered together in a single volume for the first time, here are the maps that shaped Vancouver and the surrounding Lower Fraser Valley. More than 370 original maps chart the region’s development beginning with the years of discovery and exploration. They depict its days as a fledgling colonial outpost, its appearance on the world scene after the arrival of the Canadian Pacific Railway, through to its emergence as a postwar Pacific metropolis. These maps evoke such historic events and developments as the founding of Fort Langley, the first settlements on the inlet, and the filling in of False Creek, along with more recent aspects of this richly diverse area such as the real estate boom and the explosive growth of Vancouver. Included are many fascinating plans for schemes that never got off the drawing board. Read more
