Into the Wild

A fascinating and sad recounting of a young man's ill-advised journey into the wilds of Alaska. Turned into a good movie with a great soundtrack.

Way Out There: The Best of Explore

Author: James Little    (Read: November 2006)

An interesting collection of the best articles from Explore magazine. The descriptions of the mountain climbing lifestyle were truly terrifying for someone like me who is afraid of heights. There were a few good articles on hiking and mountain biking. However the best ones were about the personalities of extreme sports and exploration. One of the last articles on Bear 99 which killed a woman in Canmore last year was especially poignant.
