Appalachian Trail Hike in 4 minutes

Green Tunnel from Kevin Gallagher on Vimeo.


Another video to kill some time with, this is a short film by a guy by the named of Kevin Gallagher. He hiked the 2,184 mile Appalachian Trail (which goes through Coach Sep's backyard of his boyhood home) and took over 4,000 pictures as he hiked. Then he spliced them together and put it to some trippy music. The result is pretty cool, you have to say.

I've always toyed with the idea of doing a long thru-hike. It seems the further away I get from consistently hiking, the more I want to do it. I know for a fact is is a difficult lonely trip, maybe in twenty years my daughter will drag me out there. She already like hiking here in Colorado. I gotta show her the part of the video in the 3:20's and 3:30's. Those are the White Mountains of NH, where I hiked/trained/galavanted about in high school and college. It's only 5,000 ft at the highest, but man was I sucking wind up there!
