This 40-minute documentary — ‘Only the Essential: Pacific Crest Trail Documentary’ — focuses on the effect that an extended stint in the wilderness has while traveling at the “speed of a human.”

All of the footage in this film was captured by thru-hikers and is an authentic look into what hiking the world’s premiere long-distance trail is all about.
