Product Description
Product Description Winner "Best Documentary" California Independent Film Festival (2002). "Walking the West" is an adventure Documentary about a New Zealander and an Irishman who quit their jobs and walk 2626 miles from Mexico to Canada along one of the longest foot trails in the world, the Pacific Crest Trail. This ridge crest route passes through some of the most spectacular scenery in North America including California deserts,the alpine lakes and granite peaks of the Sierras Nevada, and the massive volcanoes and temperate rainforests of the Cascades. Walking 21 miles a day for 4.5 months, they must cross the Canadian border before winter storms hit the cascades. The ordeal forced one of them to quit just 60 miles before the finish. This Documentary shows the changes that occur when two Urbanites escape civilization, venture into the wilderness and push their bodies and minds to the limits of their endurance. Film Festivals include 2002 California Independent Film Festival, 2003 Ashland Film Festival, 2003 Orinda film festival, 2005 Vancouver international Mountian film festival.

Great!
Great movie, a good one if you are planning to do any long distance hiking
Excellent Documentary
This is great documentary, made in a refreshingly bare-bones fashion - just the adventure, the passion, the joys, and the hardships. Watch it if you want to hike the PCT, or at least if you want to capture what living is really about.
Watch this DVD
I'd recommend this to anyone consdidering hiking the PCT. It shows some of the hardships not just the rewards.
