Zay Harding, the traveler of Globe Trekker once visits the western part of Canada. Western Canada is bigger landmass than the whole European Union which encapsulates the British Columbia, Alberta, Yukon and Saskatchewan provinces. Such a big province of western Canada was a home to merely 9 million people.The epic journey of Zay starts from the Saskatchewan, canoes along the earlier home to the renowned Grey Owl of Canada, at the Prince Albert National Park. There he lived in one of the remote cabins which were alongside the beavers that he adopted. Later, after the death of the beavers, it was discovered that he was called as Archie Belaney, an Englishman. Kay then travels through a train to the south, athwart the Great Plains which are the flat lands called as the break basket of Canada.
From there he goes to Saskatoon and gets a flight to Edmonton, the capital of Alberta. Zay’s wish was to check out the biggest attraction for tourist in Alberta’s capital, West Edmonton Mall. This mall is the biggest one in the world and stretches over an area of 5 million square feet. It is as big as the Central Park in New York. Zay’s was interested in bungee, swimming, jumping, walking with penguins, practice shooting and flop into bed in the most popular hotel of Canada- Hotel Fantasy. For Calgary Stampede, the greatest outdoor event in the world, he hitches down the Calgary, to ride with a singing trucker.
Zay then get down to the grave cowboy business of drinking as well as dancing, after he gets the essential Wild West attire. The next day, he checks out some of the top events of Stampede such as chuck wagon racing. Visiting the Indian Village, he meets Princess of India, and also tries prairie oysters, a traditional delicacy of Stampede. When travelling to the greatest scenic drives of the world, Ice fields Parkway, he also stops at the jewel of the Rockies, Lake Louise.
Reaching British Columbia, Zay via rail train travels to Vancouver from Jasper. Vancouver is amongst the leading cities of Canada having about 2 million inhabitants. He chills at the Marijuana Party of British Columbia and also watches the spectacular Museum of Anthropology. He then takes a one day trip to Whistler which is one of the skiing resorts in the world. Zay takes a final leg to his trip in the beautiful isolated Dawson and Yukon provinces. Dawson City was the largest city which was to the north of San Francisco, during the gold rush. Zay visits the Bonananza Creek and on the very next day of it, for a local tipple (a sour toe cocktail) he goes in the bar.
Zay selects Tatshenshini River for his final adventure; the river runs through the world’s most deserted wilderness areas. After finishing a wild ride, he gets in the Glacial Lake, getting stopped by the wind. This becomes the most amazing place for him to end his journey and pay a fitting tribute to the unbelievable beauty of Western Canada.
