This new edition of Pat Barrett's popular guide to walking excursions in the greater Canterbury region contains hikes suitable for a range of fitness levels, from families with children to those who aspire to challenging climbs to some of the higher summits. The walks and climbs are organized by region-Rangitata region, Ashburton Lakes and Rakaia Valley, Waimakariri Plains region, Waimakariri Basin and Arthur's Pass National Park, and the Lewis Pass region-and include useful information such as photographs and full-colour maps, walk times, walk grades, access information, nearby natural attractions, and notes on the weather, terrain, and equipment needed.
Pat's personal accounts of some of his favourite walks and climbs will inspire even ""armchair trampers"" to get out and enjoy the natural splendour of this magnificent region.
