Insatiable traveller Vivien Lougheed has hiked many of the world's most renowned peaks, including the Andes and the Himalayas, and published several books detailing her adventures. Now, with "From the Chilcotin to the Chilkoot", she turns her attention to the northern woods and the place she calls home. Hiking, says Lougheed, doesn't have to be a strenuous adventure. It can be as simple as a walk in the park. The hikes in the book illustrate her philosophy, ranging from laid-back, one-hour, off-the-highway meanders to challenging, multiple-day trips.
Vivien Lougheed started her life of exploration around the outskirts of Winnipeg when, in 1952, she got her first bicycle. She expanded these adventures in 1960 when she left her bookkeeping job at A.B. Dick and jumped on a Greyhound heading to Jasper, where she became totally enamoured with the mountains. She moved to Prince George and met her husband John who encouraged her to follow her passion and explore both the mountains and the world and then to write about it all. Shes trekked many times in each of the Rockies, Andes, Himalayas, Alps, Pyrenees, and Coast Mountains, and once in the Simiens in Ethiopia
