Lost and Found: Adrift in the Canadian Rockies

Autor Jamey Glasnovic, Glasnovic Jamey
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 18 sep 2014
For many people, moving to a mountain town is the realization of a dream, the final step in a pilgrimage to a relaxed lifestyle in a rugged and beautiful setting. After a long journey that began when he was a teenager in the 1980s with the vague idea there might be a better life somewhere "out west," Jamey Glasnovic eventually fled the chaos and stress of the big city and tried to settle into an uncomplicated Rocky Mountain existence.Canmore, Alberta, a small community nestled in a picturesque valley situated right at the edge of Banff National Park, should have been the perfect end to his searching. A rapidly growing town emerging on the tourism radar can strain anyone's definition of paradise, however, and "Lost and Found" is Glasnovic's account of his attempt, in the fall of 2008, to recapture the simple wonders of living on the boundaries of a vast wilderness.A spirited amble by bicycle and on foot, inspired by the work of Bill Bryson, "Lost and Found" explores the heart of the Rocky Mountain Parks, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its staggering beauty, and examines the consequences of celebrating that beauty too effectively with mass tourism and over-ambitious development. Eschewing the convenience of motorized transportation, Glasnovic earns every kilometre that passes beneath his feet, and along the way he learns a thing or two about feeling profoundly connected to place. An experience some would describe as being home.
