Happy Trails! PandaThe Foothills Trail Project | 2023 Film TrailerTraveling Panda2023-09-15 | Hey everyone, check out the trailer for my upcoming film about one of the western Carolinas' most spectacular long trails. Over the past year I've spent countless hours out on the 77-mile Foothills Trail to capture its beauty and community across seasons. In the coming weeks I'll be sharing more updates on the film as we get ready to share it with the community.

This week's video is about my favorite trip of the year so far, a multi-day backpacking trip to the Hoh Rainforest in the Pacific Northwest.
