From the Publisher:

British Columbia is a unique combination of pristine, wide-open wilderness and big-city sophistication. From Vancouver, one of the continents hottest new destinations, readers can take their pick of sunny coastal resorts, misty islands, lush temperate rain forest, rugged mountains with world-class ski slopes, alpine meadows, or verdant wine country. The neighboring Rockies are home to the most popular national parks in Canada. Banff, Jasper, and Lake Louise offer some of the nations most spectacular scenery.

This brand-new edition to the Frommer series takes travelers through all the highlights, including all the best eco-adventures: whale watching by kayak, sailing a ketch into the worlds only grizzly bear reserve, and hiking in misty, primordial old-growth forests and along wilderness beaches. No other guide covers so many wonderful B&B and small country inns, or such a wide range of restaurants.
