This is not a beautiful hiking video: A Pacific Crest Trail Thru-Hike

This is not a beautiful hiking video. It's more about heat, pain, hunger, mountains, lakes, sweat, dirt, freedom and friendship. Actually, it's about walking. A long distance, for a long time.

In 2016 I took a plane from Vienna, Austria to California to hike the Pacific Crest Trail – a 2650 miles footpath from Mexico to Canada. This is my 5 month journey – with all ups and downs.
