The Hayduke Trail in Utah is simply put one of the most stunning backpacking routes imaginable. The path takes hikers through slot canyons, past towering mountains, and through remote desert, with stunning landscapes to be found around nearly every corner. This video –– the first in a series –– takes us along this 800-mile (1287 km) trek to not only soak up the wilderness environment, but to also discover what immersing ourselves in that environment can do for our minds, bodies, and souls. We all know that being outdoors can be vital to our health, but here we’ll explore that concept more fully.
