The Great Divide Trail • Section A
The Great Divide Trail closely follows the Great Divide between Alberta and British Columbia …
… southern terminus is in Waterton Lakes National Park at the Canada–US border (where it connects with the Continental Divide Trail) and its northern terminus is at Kakwa Lake in Kakwa Provincial Park, north of Jasper National Park.
The trail is 1,130 km (700 mi) long …
… only portions of it are officially recognized by Parks Canada and therefore is often not signed and occasionally not even an actual trail – merely a wilderness route.
At present, the Great Divide Trail is about 80% singletrack, 10% wilderness route and 10% old roads and ATV trails.
More maps.
Ratatrail says the section starting at the American border is toughest — and the most rewarding.

Converting VIDEO from Landscape to Vertical
Our eyes are side-by-side. Our world view is landscape.
YET vertical (portrait) video is getting increasingly popular on mobile phones.
The reason?
A phone fits more comfortably in the hand in portrait position.
Videos on the BestHike YouTube channel are mostly landscape. But it’s fairly easy to convert a landscape to portrait in your software editing app.
For example, the vertical video below was edited from this landscape original.

Here’s the Instagram version.

I also uploaded it to the BestHike Facebook page.
Vancouver Island @ LOW Tide
BestHike editor Rick McCharles
I was born in the Rocky Mountain foothills, 1km above sea level.
Lived 10 years on the high prairies of Saskatchewan.
So when I get to my parents place on VANCOUVER ISLAND, I walk the coast at dawn. With coffee. The scenery is different every day.
BEST is Rathtrevor Beach at dawn.
BEST is when dawn coincides with low tide.
You can wander the ocean bottom nearly a kilometre out into the Straight of Georgia.

Not solo.
Not silent.
Plenty of awesome drone footage.
Perhaps the most amazing hike in the world. Kraig did 11 days with 5 guys who are subscribers to his channel.
