Taking the High Routes: Documentary Explores Addictive Nature of Thru-Hiking

April 18, 2024

The full-length documentary explores the addictive nature of hiking. But it’s also about the environment, the issues facing some of the regions they pass through, and the history of the high routes they’re taking. It premiered in 2023 and won the Best Cinematography award at the Lyons International Film Festival.

Produced in association with Gossamer Gear, Bearvault, Enlightened Equipment, and Altitude, The Range of Light is a spectacular watch. It’s the perfect primer to get stoked for hiking and camping season. So sit back and settle in if you’ve got an hour and 20 minutes to burn. Gear Junkie
