For most of human history, we lived in wild places. Ten days. Five friends. One trek across Utah's Uinta Highline Trail. Watch as the ancient history of the trail is woven together with the personal history of each of the hikers as they get back in touch with the world, and each other.
This is the topic of today's episode, as I sit down with Chris Smead, Producer, Cameraman, Director and straight up rad dude, to talk about the filming and hiking of the Uinta Highline Trail. 
The Uinta Highline Trail is an east to west, 104 mile long trail that truly is a special place. It's also a much lesser known trail in comparison to many of the trail throughout the country. But full of rich history, amazing views, high altitude and more, it's a trail that ought to be on any hikers bucket list. 
I talk with Chris through the episode to break down the "Highline" documentary film that premiered in Vernal, UT on Friday January 24, 2020. It features 5 hikers from all types of backgrounds and shares their stories and their time on the Highline trail. This film is worth your time to check out.
