bc road trip – resources
Travel Books:
Let’s Go! Pacific Northwest Adventure Guide – This book was perfect for a road trip and I used it a lot to figure out the “don’t miss” items for each area.
British Columbia Adventure Guide – This is not only a good travel book, but fun to read! The authors have a great sense of humor and I used this book a lot. Without it we would have missed our Lake Osoyoos panorama shot and some good wineries.
Discovering the Okanagan – I bought this book long ago, because it’s written by someone who moved to the Okanagan after a lot of research into the area. He goes into depth about each of the towns there.
British Columbia Wine Country – This book is sold at almost every winery in the Okanagan Valley and every wine info shop. It’s supposed to be “the” definitive book to their wine country. I bought it there so haven’t read it yet but I will before going back again.
The Wineries of British Columbia – Another book by the same author that lists each winery individually. If I had a bigger budget I would have purchased this one too.
Dog Travel Books:
Traveling With Your Pet – The AAA PetBook – This book was great, and it includes the U.S. and Canada. I used this all the time to find the dog-friendly hotels. It was always accurate in terms of dog fees, etc.
Doin’ the Northwest With Your Pooch – Terrific book. I used it a lot for finding out which hikes or beaches would be better to go with the dogs.
Best Hikes With Dogs in Western Washington – These were mostly hikes that take at least a day, so I didn’t do any of them but hope to get a chance to someday.
On the Road Again With Man’s Best Friend (West Coast/British Columbia) – I had an older version of this so it wasn’t as useful, but this link is for a more current version.
The Dog Lover’s Companion to the Pacific Northwest: The Inside Scoop on Where to Take Your Dog – I didn’t have this book, but it looks like a good one. I have the California version.
