The movie Wild (and the book that inspired it) has focused attention on long-distance hiking.
Biology lab instructor Pat Harrison is president of both Hike Canada and Hike B.C.
In that role, he coordinates work on the National Hiking Trail, a project that would link existing single-track and heritage footpaths, stretching 10,000 kilometres, from Port Alberni, B.C., to St. John’s, Newfoundland, and take about a year to thru-hike.
