Howse Pass was pioneered for the fur trade by David Thompson in 1807, and became the first trade route across the Canadian Rockies. When two adventurous skiers came across the same valley almost two hundred years later, the natural and undisturbed beauty of the landscape invited research and discovery. In this book Nicky Brink and her husband Stephen R. Bown skillfully marry historic and modern exploration, weaving the stories of David Thompson, Sir George Simpson, Captain John Palliser and Mary Schaffer with their own experiences hiking the same breathtaking and challenging backcountry trails.
