CHRIS SMEAD

from Hiking Thru · host Hiking Thru

Chris Smead co-directed a documentary called HIGHLINE, which follows the 10 day hike of five friends on the Highline Trail in the northern Utah mountains. Along with the hike, the film also reflects on each man’s personal journey as well as the history of the trail itself. In this episode, we discuss how the film came to be and the challenges of filming in such a remote location with crazy weather patterns and continuous high altitude. If you need a little solace from the off trail blues, the streaming release was yesterday, April 7th.
