This site details a backpacking trip on the Canol Heritage Trail by , Dave Cobb and Roberta Cobb from August 9-22, 1998. Steve and Dave took the photographs. See the Canol Heritage Trail web site for more information about the trail, maps, etc. If you are thinking about hiking this thing, I suggest you take a look at some of our hints, tips and warnings. Despite my generally repellant nature, we actually did see some animals. When my head wasn't between my knees, I got a few nice shots of the Canol from the airplane. The town of Norman Wells used my photographs in an advertisement for their community.
