Picking a destination
--------------------------

So you've made the decision to organize a trip with Wanderung. Thank you! But
how do you find out where to go? Perhaps the easiest is to simply look back over
the trips that have been organized in the past and pick one of those
destinations.

Traditionally, books have been the main source of inspiration for hike
destinations. Depending on your level of experience, there are several good
books that cover the Vancouver area. In order of hike difficulty they are:
- 109 Walks in British Columbia's Lower Mainland by Mary & David Macaree
- Best Hikes and Walks of Southwestern BC by Dawn Hanna
- 103 Hikes in Southwestern BC by Jack Bryceland and Mary & David Macaree
- Scrambles in Southwest BC by Matt Gunn

A handful of other books exist that focus on specific areas, including "The
Whistler Book" by Jack Christie, "Off the Beaten Path: A Hiking Guide to
Vancouver's North Shore" by Norman Watt, "Burke and Widgeon: a hiker's guide" by
Lyle Litzenberger, "Coquihalla Trips and Trails" by Murphy Shewchuk and "Stein
Valley" by Gordon White.

However, paper books are considered old-hat by some who prefer to make use of
online resources. Wanderung's list of trip reports is a good place to start
(http://www.wanderung.ca/recent-reports/). Club Tread (www.clubtread.com) has a
comprehensive list of trails and is, of course, a great resource for the latest
conditions. Live Trails (www.livetrails.com) is another excellent place to check
out trail options, with the ability to explore hikes by location. Finally,
there's Vancouver Trails (www.vancouvertrails.com) which has a list of trails
largely covering the easier end of the hiking spectrum and includes maps and
photos.

Whichever resource you choose, you're sure to find more than enough hike
possibilities. The problem now is picking just one!
