Description
The Hayduke Trail is an 800 mile route across the deserts of southern Utah and Arizona. Starting in Arches National Park and ending in Zion National Park, it snakes through canyon country and some of the most remote land in America. Most of the time there is no trail and navigation through the canyons can be extremely difficult and dangerous, but it is also known as one of the most beautiful hikes in the world.
I hiked it in the spring of 2018. It took two months and I finished at the end of May. Now I’m working on a series of episodes and a full-length documentary about the hike. My goal is to make a movie that is about more than just hiking. I’ll be using the thru-hiking experience as a metaphor for many life lessons that are hard to learn in modern society.
