Notes


This book traces the history and geography of the Hinton Trail, a long-established route linking the Yellowhead Pass with the Peace River country before the advent of modern roads. In Trail North, Robert Guest combines historical research with firsthand exploration, documenting the experiences of Indigenous peoples, settlers, explorers, and traders who travelled the trail under often demanding conditions.

Drawing on archival sources, oral accounts, and his own extended study of the route, Guest presents the trail through a combination of text, maps, drawings, and a series of landscape paintings, offering a visual and narrative record of the route as it existed historically and as it appears today.
