The expedition: 772 km along the dry eastern edge of the Coast Mountains, from Harrison Lake to Tatla Lake, through canyons, alpine tundra, and country where a broken bike can mean a three-day walk. Between the wild stretches come cultural ones, salmon drying in the wind along the Fraser at Lillooet, and the Xeni Gwet'in ranch country of the Nemiah Valley. Plan on two weeks, around 16,000 m of climbing, and pre-arranged food drops.
