From Vickie Lanthier -- creator of GirlGoneGood© and Wellness + Wilderness -- comes Best Hikes: Ottawa Gatineau, a comprehensive guide to 50 of the best hiking trails in the nation’s capital. The extensive trail-reports for each trail will allow you to pick the perfect hike for you. Short or long? Two-hours-to-the -trailhead or twenty-minutes? Vistas-at-the-end or a beach? The book also lets you choose the kind of trail you hike. Where can you find a dog-friendly trail? What trails are good for seeing birds? What trails will have a coffee-shop waiting for me near the trailhead, post-hike? Dog trails, coffee trails, birding trails, geocaching trails – Lanthier has ten categories of trails, and has chosen her five favourites for each. Each trail-report has a map and a full-legend of information for that trail (length, degree-of-difficulty, civic address, hours-of-operation, accessibility, etc.) Many trails also have a QR code in the map, that will bring you to maps put out by the trail-managers for that trail.
