British Columbia (Canada) - August 2008

The race for the west

Not a true trek this time, but a series of day hikes done along a winding road between Vancouver and Calgary. A road scattered with coasts where whales cruise, with boundless horizons, with never ending lakes, with vertical granite walls erected in front of you and with forests ... a lot of forests. The bear, omnipresent icon of these places is never far away neither. A good discovery trip then, which makes you want to go deeper ... into the wild.

Check out the photos of the trek on Flickr, to download the images in their original size and see on a map the places where they were taken.
