Figure it Out: on the Hayduke Trail (50-minute version)

The Hayduke Trail is better described as a route than a trail, because most of the time there is no trail. It's 800 miles long snaking across southern Utah and Northern Arizona through canyon country. The terrain is very hard to navigate through and often requires dangerous descents and ascents on canyon walls. Not to mention it's in the desert so water is often scarce. What makes it all worth it is un-paralleled scenery in a strange and extremely remote environment.

Figure it Out is about more than just hiking the Hayduke though. It explores the psychological benefits of spending time in the wilderness and how we can incorporate those lessons into everyday life.

This is a shortened 50-minute version. The original documentary is 90-minutes long and can be found here,
