The Bowron Lakes
British Columbia's Wilderness Canoe Circuit

In the midst of the grandeurs of British Columbia's landscape, there lies a particular and unique jewel: the Bowron Lake Canoe Circuit. Of the people who have known and loved it, Chris stands out as one of its strongest and most faithful advocates. As a tour guide and photographer, he has paddled the Lakes well over 100 times and knows the area in every mood and every season. Chris' companion set of books represents thirty-five years of passion for both the wilderness and the twin artistries of paddling and photography.

In the coffee-table book, The Bowron Lakes: A Lifetime Journey, Chris' stunning imagery presents the journey of a lifetime. The images, which range between precise documentary and impassioned abstraction, are accompanied by his feelings and stories. The result is a fresh perspective on the circuit and a pleasurable guide for paddlers and visual artists. This book also contains the natural and cultural history of the Bowron Lake Circuit area.

With maps, diagrams, illustrations, and answers to all your questions, the guide book, The Bowron Lakes: A Guide to Paddling British Columbia's Wilderness Canoe Circuit, is the single most comprehensive source of information available anywhere on the subject of paddling the Bowron Lakes.
