Fabulous place, fabulous film. Than you Glen and all the unnamed others who made it possible.
It's mind-boggling to consider that when these mountains began developing, the most advanced life form on Earth was algae. The Appalachian mountains have silently observed the gradual evolution of life on our planet. If only they could speak, they would share tales of the diverse species that once inhabited their slopes, the passage of time, and the everlasting beauty of nature. It is truly wonderful to walk this trail and have the sense that you are a small part of something much bigger than yourself.
Dude! You need to make a full length feature documentary. Your work is simply the best I have ever seen for on trail, people profile and conservation focused content. I so wish you had completed your PCT adventure. It would have been the gold standard for PCT VLOGGING content. You are a masterful story teller.
Loved it brought made my soul want to experience nature in a new way
Absolutley fantastic! Thank you for highlighting our special corner of the world. ❤
Thru Hiked this trail back in 2021. It's a great hike. Challenging, yet doable!
Wow. So good. I dream of thru hiking The AT all the time… I don’t think life will ever allow that to happen, however this…. I can do! I loved every second of this program and really inspired me to change my perspective a bit. Thanks for sharing.
This area has my whole heart🫶
Absolutely phenomenal.
Beautiful job, Panda!
Thank you Mr Nat Geo....this was worth the wait! And thank you to all that make this trail possible for the rest of us. ❤
Thanks a ton!
This is one of the most beautiful and clear films I have ever seen!
Thank you for all that you did here and for the Foothills Trail!
Excellent footage, Panda! Powerful storytelling. I love it!
Wish we could’ve seen it in theater, but didn’t want a crying baby to ruin it!
We gotta get up the hill and meet the fam! Happy late birthday, miss y’all!
Beautiful film Panda ! Thank you for sharing this ! Thank you for your support, when I hiked it. Your a good friend. This is,one of the most beautiful places in the world.
I'm six minutes into this film and it's already wonderful. Great documentary about a trail I look forward to hiking one day.
That was excellent - thank you! We are so blessed to live in this amazing area of the world.
Thank you for putting this film together. This is a magical place!
So rad bro!
Awesome documemtary......right up to the geologist's take on the area....
Quite sad...actually
I had to pause it and stop and scratch my head at the statement about the mountains here having been worn down over hundreds of millions of years...wow.!
Well done, Preston! Beautifully done. I love my home state of SC even more. Thanks for creating this awesome film!
Nicely done ! Definitely putting this trail on my bucket list❤
Incredible documentary! Makes me want to thru hike it again.
I grew up in this area camping with my dad. I have so many good memories from camping at cherry hill and riding the dirt roads the top of white water falls. It’s truly a special place ❤
Really well done, Panda! I loved the film!
This documentary is outstanding. Well done!
Thank you! Great video and amazing trail. Was blessed to walk it last year.
Really interesting to see we have a rainforest here on the east coast!
The Foothills Trail is such a special place. This is a lovely documentary. Well done! Thank you to all who made the trail happen, those who maintain it, and to Preston and the folks at Traveling Panda.
Well done video. I have been on several parts of it. It is a great resource and it was fun to learn how it came to be.
Great job on this movie. Thank you!
Beautiful work. Beautiful place.
Lots of great memories from my time in that part of the state. Wonderful documentary that really captures the beauty of the area.
This was so thoughtful, emotional, beautiful and wonderfully edited! Great work and thank you!
Thanks man, really appreciate that.
I've hiked 500 + miles on the AT and then discovered Foothills. I'm in love! So beautiful and water, water everywhere! I am spreading the word!
Wonderful documentary!
This was simply wonderful. Makes me want to do the trail again.

Beautiful film! Beautiful trail!
This trail has brought so much into my life. It was my first backpacking trip and my first ultramarathon
Absolutely same here, minus the ultramarathon 😂
What a lovely documentary! You have some great high quality footage and it was fun to see places I recognize a d exciting topic see ones I don't. I feel inspired to get back out on the trail and to help preserve it ❤
Love it, thanks a ton and happy trails! 🤙🏼
Beautiful film. I loved thru-hiking this trail and you have captured it so well.
Thanks man! Love to hear that, it’s an awesome trail
:)
I watched it in the theater and loved it!
Thank you for the memories, the first time I thru hiked the foothills trail it still had not been completed. There were sections with no bridges and temporary markings. I have thru hiked it a total of 7 times over the course of 10-15year time span back in the early years as well as enjoyed many short weekend hikes. I will cherish all the wonderful memories this trail and surrounding areas gave me.
Incredible. It sounds like you may have hiked on the original route then? So cool
Yes I did and again so many incredible memories from seeing wildlife like deer and fox to the many varieties of plants. Only ran into 3 people the entire trip first time out and it was a crew working on the trail half way between sassafras and laurel creek parking area. I was even fortunate enough to spend a day at white water falls when the helicopter placed the bridge in place. Such a wonderful area of our country. @@travelingpanda5108
Awesome Doc! Heyward Peregrine is the absolute heart of this trail. Long live the FHT!
The Horsepasture River is my favorite place on Earth.
AMAZING! ❤❤
Thanks AL
Amazing!
