My name is Mitch Hemmer. I'm a filmmaker originally from the mountains of New Hampshire. I grew up with preserved wilderness as my backyard and so I hope to inspire others to experience the outdoors on their own.

A look into the life of an Appalachian Trail hiker

This epic, nearly 2,200-mile trail spans no less than 14 states, passing through an extraordinary range of territory. Begun in 1921 and completed in 1937, it was built by private citizens and is now managed by the National Park Service, US Forest Service and Appalachian Trail Conservancy, as well as state agencies. A once-in-a-lifetime journey for intrepid hikers.

Three North Carolina rock climbing guides Dan, Forrest, and Anothony tell us their stories and experiences with nature as their office. 

One of America's first national forests, Pisgah spans over 500,000 acres, set entirely in North Carolina. It was the site of the country's first school of forestry, but these days it's better known as a terrific place for hiking, fishing, rock climbing, water activities and mountain biking. There are hundreds of miles of trails passing by whitewater rivers and waterfalls. Hikers wanting a deeper experience should try out Mountains-to-the-Sea Trail or the Shut-In Trail. If you're going on two wheels, leave Farlow Gap to the experts!
