Golfer Lee Trevino won last year because he could "talk a cowgirl out of her boots." Now the 700 members of the Girls Rodeo Association have given their "Man on the Trail" award to part-time Cowboy Steve Ford, 19, the President's youngest son.

Still being developed as part of Canada's newly dedicated Pacific Rim National Park, the 22 miles now open are equipped with suspension bridges over ravines, cable cars across two river canyons and a boardwalk along the rougher sections.
