Mac of Halfway Anywhere (previously at Neatorama) and his friends hiked the entire Continental Divide Trail, 3100 miles from Mexico to Canada. This music video is made of one second from each day of the adventure.
The landscapes are gorgeous, and change completely every day. You can almost feel the temperatures changing as they make their way across up the Rockies through five states. The music is "Paper Tiger" by Javier Dunn. -via Digg
My hat goes off to people like Mac. One idle dream of mine was to hike the Appalachian Trail. In Scouts we did it for a couple of days. Later I read Bill Bryson's "A Walk In The Woods" when after a lot of walking they have only made it to TN. He took time off and resumed from where they would have been, to find it was still only 1/2-way there. My dream is now down to going for a hike for a few weeks, rather than many months. I'm now about the age Bryson was for his book, so it's still eminently doable.
