Picture this: you're sailing with whales in what feels like the Galápagos of the North, or clipping along backcountry trails on horseback through the Rockies. That's the magic Robin Esrock captures in The Great Western Canada Bucket List, the new edition of this national bestseller. After globe-trotting to over 115 countries, Robin turned his lens to BC and Alberta, unearthing experiences so unique, they'll redefine how you see travel.
Travel guides often blend into the background, but this one pops with personality. Robin's curiosity shines through every page—think heli-fishing in salmon-packed streams or houseboating under starlit skies. It's not just a list; it's a personal invitation to places like medieval glamping in the Prairies or driving the world's most scenic road stretches. Full-color photos transport you there before you even pack.
Whether you're plotting a solo road trip, a family getaway, or a romantic escape, these ideas solve the 'what next?' dilemma. Imagine alpine skiing by torchlight on New Year's Eve—the thrill of fresh powder under flickering lights. Or floating on a houseboat, coffee in hand, as dawn breaks over glassy waters. Each entry includes practical tips: where to stay, best times to go, and insider secrets to avoid crowds.
Flip through on rainy days for inspiration, or use it to blueprint your summer itinerary. Readers rave about how it sparks that itch to explore—'Finally, a bucket list that feels personal,' says one fan. At around 300 pages of vivid prose and photos, it's compact enough for your glovebox but packed with enough detail for serious planning.
