Trekking the Continental Divide from the US 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.
