German hiker Melanie Vogel became the first woman to walk coast-to-coast-to-coast across Canada, completing her incredible five-year journey in Victoria on Saturday.
Vogel started her journey in Cape Spear, N.L., in June 2017 and reached the end of her hike along Trans Canada Trail Clover Point, Victoria.
"When I set foot on the trail in Newfoundland, I had no idea or expectation of how this walk would unfold," said Vogel in the release. "I did not know that kindness and my connection to nature and this land would become such major talking points." Vogel chronicled her journey on social media and hopes her trek inspires others to visit the outdoors and embrace conservation.
"My message is this: Just go. Go at your own pace and capabilities. Go and fully use your senses. Explore, discover and connect to nature," she said.
