Description

Traveling mainly on his much-loved bike, the intrepid adventurer explores the world's second largest country—home to some of the most stunning and challenging terrain known to man

Vintage Boorman, this book is packed with all the excitement and adventure—and bikes!—of his previous travels. Along the way he works with Alberta's famous "Bear Whisperer," travels with Native Canadians and learns about their mythology and shamanic rituals, gets involved in the world famous National Lumberjack competition, works with the Mounties search and rescue team, and visits the world's smallest jail in Ontario. He takes a raft along the Nahanni river, crosses Canada's only desert in Okanagan Valley, climbs the Canadian Rockies, and circumnavigates Newfoundland by taking an old steel sloop through the infamous Iceberg Alley, stopping to camp, hunt, and cook with local foraged food.
