THE GREAT HIKE: A 21,000-Kilometre Odyssey to Canada's Three Oceans

21,000 kilometres. 13,000 miles. One man. One extraordinary journey.


In this gripping autobiography, Dana Meise sets out to conquer the Trans Canada Trail, one of the world’s longest trail networks, on an epic trek across Canada. Along the way, he faces brutal weather, physical exhaustion, and the profound solitude of the wilderness. Yet his journey becomes about far more than endurance. It is a powerful story of resilience, self-discovery, and nature's transformative power.


Beginning on May 6, 2008, at Cape Spear, Newfoundland and Labrador, Dana embarks on a remarkable adventure that spans more than a decade, finally reaching Tuktoyaktuk, Northwest Territories, on November 15, 2018. Through countless challenges and unforgettable experiences, The Great Hike captures the extraordinary determination it takes to pursue a dream to its very end.
