Pack Em Up, Ride Em Out: Classic Horse Pack Trips in British Columbia and Alberta is a valuable resource for readers who are planning horse pack trips--not only those planning trips in these Canadian locales, but also horse pack trips in areas nearby. The research for this book was conducted over the course of five summers through first-hand experience in the backcountry, and also utilizing maps, historical accounts, and primary sources (in the form of conversations with experienced horse pack trippers, outfitters, and park personnel). The book includes everything from maps and photos from the trails to tips about river crossing, camp spots with good horse grazing, recent natural hazards to avoid, and landmarks, along with a trip overview table and sections dedicated to the descriptions of specific trails.
