Trekking the Continental Divide from the U.S. border to Kakwa Lake is a demanding adventure. In this revised and updated guidebook devoted to Canada’s 1,200-kilometre Great Divide Trail (GDT), Dustin Lynx helps hikers piece together the myriad individual routes that form a continuous trail along the Divide.

      Outlining the six major sections of the GDT, Lynx breaks the trail into 20-kilometre segments and describes the terrain and condition of each segment. These segments can be used to plan shorter trips along the GDT. Lynx’s indispensable pre-trip planning advice will help long-distance hikers overcome daunting logistical challenges such as re-supply, navigation and access.

Over five months in 1994, Dustin Lynx hiked the Pacific Crest Trail, 4,300 kilometres from Mexico to Canada. During that time, he walked a marathon distance each day. Two summers later, he hiked the GDT. Now, as a father of two children, Dustin is busy walking the fulfilling path of parenthood, but he continues his forays on the GDT from his front door in Canmore, Alberta.
