Trekking Through History | HBC Heritage Trail

Filmmaker Erick Thompson explores the HBC Heritage Trail and takes viewers back in time. Originally a First Nations route for hunting and trade, the HBC Trail played a key role in British Columbia’s early development. Trekking Through History includes rare film footage captured in 1971 during the retracing of the trail.
Since 2009, significant progress has been made in re-opening this historic fur trail over the Cascades. Hikers and horseback riders can now enjoy a continuous wilderness trail that spans 74-kms, between Hope and Tulameen.
Written, Directed and Edited by Erin Trainer and Erick Thompson.
