 Come Walk With Us Across Canada on the Great Trail!

 
Follow Our Journey Province by Province on the Trans Canada Trail
 
We are almost ready to begin our adventure across Canada on the Great Trail, formerly known as the Trans Canada Trail! Over the coming years, we hope to walk from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean and eventually north to the Arctic, discovering Canada's landscapes, communities, wildlife, and remarkable network of trails along the way.
 
And we would love for you to Come Walk With Us!

 
As we make our way across the country, we will be sharing our experiences through daily trail journals, photographs, bird and wildlife observations, stories from the communities we visit, and information about the many different pathways that make up Canada's Great Trail.

 
To make it easier for everyone to follow our journey, we have created a series of provincial pages that will bring together everything we publish about each section of the trail.  At the moment, many of these pages are empty. After all, we haven't started walking yet! However, as we travel through each province, we hope to gradually fill them with our adventures, discoveries, and practical information gathered both during our preparations and while we are actually out on the trail.
 
Our hope is that, over time, these pages will develop into a useful province-by-province resource for exploring and hiking the Trans Canada Trail, combining the research we have undertaken before leaving with our lived experiences and what we discover along the way.

Trans Canada Trail Hiking Guides, Information, FAQ & Planning Resources
 
As we travel, we will continue adding new entries to these collections, allowing you to follow our journey from one community, trail, and province to the next. Whether you are interested in hiking the Great Trail yourself, discovering more about Canada, learning about its birds and wildlife, or simply joining us for the adventure, we hope you will find something here to enjoy.

 
We have spent a great deal of time researching the trails ahead, but there is still so much we don't know. We are looking forward to discovering what these places are really like, meeting the people who live along the route, and sharing what we learn as we go.  Perhaps, by the time we reach the other side of the country, these pages will have grown into something that can help others plan their own adventures on the Great Trail. For now, though, they are the beginning of a very long journey, and we hope you will join us as they grow.

Update: Our Coast-to-Coast-to-Coast Journey is Complete

 
When we first published this page in 2019, we were preparing to begin our walk across Canada, and the provincial pages linked above were largely empty. Our hope was to develop them as we travelled, combining our preliminary research with our experiences on the Great Trail.  Since then, we have completed our journey from the Atlantic to the Pacific and northward to the Arctic Ocean. These provincial collections have grown to include our daily trail journals, practical planning information, regional trail guides, and reflections from almost 18,000 kilometres of walking across Canada.
 
We continue to revise and expand these resources in the hope that they will be useful to others interested in exploring the Trans Canada Trail.  We hope this information helps now that we have completed our hike from the Atlantic to the Pacific to the Arctic!  

It was the journey of a lifetime!  Thank you to everyone who followed along and who helped along the way!

See you on the Trail - and if you have any questions, feel free to email us!
