Outdoor gear company Granite Gear has started to sponsor thru-hikers and charging them with the responsibility of helping clean up some of the most popular trails in the U.S. In this video, we join one of the members of the crew as he hikes the Pacific Crest Trail, soaking in those amazing environments, while helping to preserve them for future generations of backpackers to enjoy too. The clip is a good reminder of why we always strive to leave no trace, but thankfully there are men and women who are dedicated to keeping these places pristine.
