THRU-HIKERS

Carrying baggage from their pasts, hikers from DIVERSE backgrounds traverse the COLORADO TRAIL, taking on DANGEROUS elements and strengthening their relationships along the way - all while HEALING the one they have with themselves.

One step-at-a-time, with HOPE and AWE, this is why they go...

Synopsis

This hour-long, arced docu-series will follow hikers (from ALL walks of life), as they TACKLE the COLORADO TRAIL in hopes of transforming their lives. The strenuous and life-endangering hike is 486 MILES LONG, including 8 MOUNTAIN RANGES, 6 WILDERNESSES, and 4 WEEKS time to finish!

The GOAL of the ensemble cast is to become a “THRU-HIKER”, which is what they call those BRAVE enough to make the ENTIRE route of the Trail. Unlike other wilderness-based shows (which pit groups and people against each other in competition formats), the CONFLICT on this ensemble series revolves around HOW the cast has to WORK through personal and physical challenges TOGETHER to become a “THRU-HIKER” on the other side.

The Trail stories are ENDLESS. Future seasons could EXPLORE other hikers as they attempt to CONQUER their pasts and redirect their futures on other US trails and abroad.
