Updated fourth-edition guide to Canada's 1,200-kilometre Great Divide Trail, with new information, contemporary photography, trail details and revised alternative routes.

Trekking the Continental Divide from the U.S. border to Kakwa Lake is a demanding adventure. Dustin Lynx helps hikers piece together the individual routes that form a continuous trail along the Divide and provides the information needed to plan both shorter trips and complete long-distance traverses.

The guide outlines the seven major sections of the Great Divide Trail and breaks them into more attainable segments, describing the terrain and condition of each. Practical pre-trip advice addresses resupply, navigation and access, three of the central logistical challenges for hikers travelling for days or weeks through remote mountain country.

Complete with updated route information, detailed maps and colour photography, this fourth edition gives Canadian and international hikers a practical framework for exploring one of western Canada's major long-distance wilderness trails.

Über den Autor
Dustin Lynx hiked the 4300 km Pacific Crest Trail, from Mexico to Canada, in 1994. Shortly afterward, while browsing antiquarian bookstores in Vancouver and longing to be back on the trail, he came across High Summer: Backpacking the Canadian Rockies, by Chris Townsend. That book, more than any other, changed his life. Thanks to Townsend's book, Dustin discovered the Great Divide Trail and moved to the University of Calgary so he could hike it in 1996 between the final two years of his arts degree. He currently lives in Canmore, Alberta, and operates an information technology consultancy. Besides the fourth edition of this guidebook, Dustin has written for several magazines, including Explore, and contributed to Imagine this Valley: Essays and Short Stories Celebrating the Bow Valley.
