Another trail is about to join the ranks of the world's great trails, such as America's Appalachian Trail, Turkey's Lycian Way, or South America's Inca Trail:
Cyclists in Canada will soon be able to pedal from Newfoundland on the Atlantic coast to Vancouver Island in the Pacific Ocean, without having to share a road with a single car. The Great Trail, as it's known, is set to open in 2017 in time for Canada's 150th birthday. Once complete, the trail will stretch 15,000 miles (24,000km) through each of the country's 13 provinces and territories and touch three oceans, becoming the longest recreational trail in the world.
Besides biking, hiking and horseback riding, the path will be open in winter for cross country skiing and snowmobiling. And with a quarter of the trail on water, canoes, kayaks or other water craft can also be used.

It was originally called the Trans-canada trail [wikipedia.org].
I tried to look up my post about advertising being used to dumb down Trademarks, but could not find it.

lol, I was just thinking about that Transcanada highway sounds pretty lame nowadays, although back then it probably sounded cool :)
