Book excerpt: This photo journal shares the experiences and adventures of the first person to hike all the way across British Columbia on the Trans Canada Trail, from Victoria to Alberta. This book will interest both those who live in British Columbia and those who do not. For residents of British Columbia--who already know a lot about their beautiful province--this photo journal, told from a hiker's up-close perspective, will deepen that knowledge. Crossing a province as varied as British Columbia at "human speed" provides a perspective that no other mode of travel can match. Scenes that are fleeting glimpses when seen from a speeding car--or even a fast-moving bicycle--take on a new reality when experienced at walking speed. And for those not living in BC, this book can serve as a great introduction to this fascinating province, that goes far beyond guidebooks or coffee table books. Besides those interested in BC, this photo journal will resonate with all hikers, far and wide. Finally, note that all proceeds from sale of this book are donated to the Trans Canada Trail Foundation, so every purchaser will have played a role in supporting completion of the longest continuous trail in the world.
