From the mouth of Howe Sound to Garibaldi Park, Whistler and
Blackcomb and the Pemberton Valley, twenty-seven professional
photographers have photographed the very best of the Sea to Sky
Region in John Bartosik''s classic book, "Sea to Sky
Country,"
Welcome to Sea to Sky Country, a spectacular 160-km corridor of
land running between BC''s Coast Mountains and Howe Sound, and one
of Canada''s most splendid natural treasures. In this big, bold,
colourful book, the revised and updated edition of a bestselling
classic, John Bartosik and six other professional photographers
have captured the wild magnificence of this special place, from
Howe Sound, Garibaldi Park, Whistler and Blackcomb to the Pemberton
Valley and beyond.
Here, photographed with skill and sensitivity, are the craggy
mountaintops, lush rain forests, crystalline glaciers and fertile
farming valleys; the bald eagles and delicate subalpine
wild-flowers; the busy trains and picturesque towns; and most of
all the people - a unique breed of lumberjacks, skiers,
wind-surfers, mountain climbers, rodeo stars and every other kind
of adventurer.
The photographs are woven together with a zesty regional history,
choice portraits of local characters and a few insider tips on
getting the most out of a truly magnificent place. "Sea to Sky
Country" is the perfect book for anyone who''s meeting Sea to Sky
Country for the first time, savouring some great memories, or just
indulging in a special dream.
