Summary:
"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. With the vague idea there might be a better life somewhere "out west," Jamey Glasnovic 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. This spirited amble by bicycle and on foot 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. Jamey Glasnovic was born in Montreal.He was drawn early in life to such faraway destinations as Australia, Japan, Mexico and Ireland. This is his first book"--Provided by publisher.
The author recounts his adventures through the Rocky Mountain parks by bicycle and on foot.
