BCMC Presentation October 14, 2025
By John Baldwin
Title: Coast Mountain High Routes
John will share photos and stories of the development of his new book Coast Mountain High Routes by John Baldwin. A guide to 46 summer high routes and alpine traverses in the Coast Mountains. These are the great skyline traverses - off-trail hikes through large remote mountainous regions, continuously in the alpine, and a bit like being on a summit for an entire trip. With elements of thru-hiking, backpacking and mountaineering, you carry your camp on your back, never retrace your steps, and travel over terrain that is always new.
The book describes routes varying from 3 days to 3 weeks and ranging from shorter trips in the Sea to Sky corridor to longer more remote trips in the high grasslands of the Chilcotin or above deep coastal inlets as far north as Bella Coola. All of the routes venture through wilderness regions.
Copies of Coast Mountain High Routes will be available for sale.
