Living in the desert with two mountain ranges and Joshua Tree National Park bordering my home town I am fortunate that I can hike year round. But I do all of my serious hiking in the spring and summer like everyone else. To get me in the mood for the hiking season, every March for the past few years I watch several different movies and read a few outdoor related books.
Even with many Hollywood made movies available, “Walking the West” a Pacific Crest Trail Documentary is my favorite one. This documentary was produced by two hikers, a New Zealander and Irishman, and it sums up all the fun, trials and tribulations of an extreme long distance hike. This is part one and I will be posting part two in the next few days. It is a little long at 34 minutes but it is a must watch movie for anyone serious about hiking.
If you can’t wait for me to post part two you can find it on Youtube. If you really like the movie consider buying the DVD quality version.
