In the Life of the Trail series, they share their findings with hikers and history buffs, adventurers and armchair travellers. Life of the Trail 6 details historic routes in the area north of the Columbia Icefields and south of the Miette River, bordered on the east by the Athabasca and Sunwapta rivers (today's highway 93).

Coleman, Hudson's Bay Company Governor Sir George Simpson and Group of Seven painters Lawren Harris and A.Y. Jackson.
