Hälle was the original instigator for the preservation of the 350-km (220-mile) long Alexander Mackenzie Heritage Trail in British Columbia. (Alexander Mackenzie was the first european to cross the North American continent) While guiding there in 1972, he discovered sections of Mackenzie's 1793 route from the Fraser River across Tweedsmuir Provincial Park's Rainbow Mountains to Bella Coola. In 1989 Hälle received the British Columbia Heritage Award for his outstanding contribution toward the recognition and preservation of the trail.
