Thru-Hiking: |
|
"Thru-hiking is hiking a long-distance trail end-to-end. The term is most commonly associated with the Appalachian Trail (AT), the Pacific Crest Trail(PCT), and the Continental Divide Trail(CDT) in the United States, but also refers to other end-to-end hikes. Other examples include the Te Araroa Trail in New Zealand, the Camino de Santiago in Spain, the Lycian Way in Turkey, the Israel National Trail, and the Great Divide Trail (GDT) in Canada. Thru-hiking is also called "end-to-end hiking" or "end-to-ending" on some trails, like Vermont's Long Trail. Section hiking, on the other hand, refers to hiking a trail one section at a time, without continuity and not necessarily in sequence with the other sections."

In 1959 Washington ranchers Don and June Mulford decided to try what everybody said couldn't be done - ride the entire length of the 2,400 mile Pacific Crest Trail from Mexico to Canada on horseback in one year. Armed with a movie and still camera they documented life on the trail. This program showcases the Mulford's stunning photography and retells an adventure still fresh after many years.
