From Yellowstone to the Yukon on the Grizzly Bear's Trail . . .
'Walking The Big Wild' is the story of Karsten Heuer's extraordinary 18-month journey of hiking, skiing, and paddling across 2,100 miles of mountains, forests, and rivers from Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming to the Canadian Yukon.
Accompanied by occasional human companions and a remarkable border collie named Webster, Heuer encountered immense challenges: storms, avalanches, floods, and grizzlies. At the end of the journey, Heuer proved that there is nearly continuous wilderness that can support wildlife along the length of the Rockies-and is salvageable if the right decisions are made now.
Karsten Heuer has worked as a wildlife biologist and park warden in Banff National Park in the Rockies, in Inuvik in Canada's far north, and in the Madikwe Game Reserve in South Africa.
