Part 1 - This video segment begins near Idyllwild, California, taking in the San Bernardino National Forest, Big Bear Lake, some interesting wildlife along the trail, surprise antics at Deep Creek Hot Springs, some great panoramic shots through Crowder Creek Canyon and other areas, the ascent to the summit of Mt. Baden-Powell, and finally a scenic sweep from the crest of a mountain in the beginning of the Angeles National Forest.


 

 

 

Part 2 - This segment continues through the Angeles National Forest, beginning near Islip Saddle, and includes some very interesting information about endangered species along the trail. Also captured on film is the first rain experienced since the beginning of the journey, along with very chilly sleet, happening of all places as they began crossing the Mojave Desert. Other clips let you share in a birthday surprise for a fellow hiker and some awesome views from atop mountains as they near Walker Pass and begin their trek in the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range.


 

 

 

Part 3 - This segment begins at the Kennedy Meadows Campground, where the Nomad introduces many fellow thru-hikers. As the trek continues, you will get a look at the scorched, damaged area of the Clover Fires that passed through days before, and then panoramic views of the beauty of the High Sierras. Then, after a 4-mile ascent, stand with the Nomad as he plants an American Flag atop the summit of Mt. Whitney, an elevation of 14,495 feet.


 

 

 

Part 4 - This segment begins at Sequoia National Park, as the Nomad continues his journey through Forester Pass, Kearsarge Pass, Pinchot Pass and Mather Pass, sharing with you some breathtaking video of the High Sierras and the rushing snow melts roaring down the mountains.


 

 

 

Part 5 - This segment brings the Nomad to Muir Pass. Again see and hear the rushing waters of the snow melt as it roars through Evolution Creek and enjoy the panoramic scenes in the Range of Light" of the High Sierras, with views from Selden Pass, Edison Lake, and Silver Pass. Oh, and don't miss a little frolic in the snow before coming to a rest at Red's Meadow, near Mammoth Lake.
