Join Emmy award-winning filmmaker Mick Davie on a breathtaking journey across six iconic American trails, uncovering hidden history, wildlife, and the profound culture of hiking

Hiking is not just a physical journey but, perhaps more important, an internal one.

Millions of travelers each year partake in this outdoor ritual on some level, whether for a day, a weekend, or many months, to immerse themselves in a special culture that has birthed unique traditions such as trail names, trail magic—receiving or giving small acts of kindness—and forging unforgettable bonds with kindred spirits along the way.

Here's your chance to sample life on six spectacular trails in North America with your guide, Emmy award-winning filmmaker Mick Davie. Each trail holds rich secrets of American history and stories of the people who traveled them.

Mick will take you on an adventure through the rugged heart of the continent, revealing its most closely held secrets in three stunning episodes. We will learn about different terrains, climates, and a host of incredible wildlife.

America's Great Trails is a feast for your senses that can help you rediscover your connection to the natural world.
