I Am The MST - The Vision: A Mountains to Sea Trail Documentary

Join us as we learn how the Mountains to Sea Trail transformed from an idea on paper, to a nearly 1,200 mile trail stretching across the state! We will hear from several key visionaries that banded together to form not only the trail, but the organization that would grow to support it for years to come!
"I Am The MST" is a 4 part documentary series highlighting the Mountains to Sea Trail that spans across the state of North Carolina and the people that make up the community surrounding it!

    Thank you! Interestingly enough, there are a handful of international hikers that come to North Carolina to hike the trail. It's very unique from other trails which I think has a certain draw that isn't found from other trails. Thanks for watching!

    Wow, the MST sounds awesome! I really enjoyed this production. Anyway, my apologies I’ve been MIA this year. We’ve had a very busy year travelling in Central and South America. But, we’ve returned home now and so, I’ll have a lot more time to watch and follow your channel. Thanks for your understanding. I look forward to your next video. Cheers, Dan and Beck

    Julie & Austin; this is an amazing production you have created! It's incredible to know that it was JUST THE TWO of you who have done all of this from setting up & doing the interviews with all of these remarkable people, traveling all over the state, doing the scripts, photos, videos, editing, and all that goes into a production.It is truly phenomenal. The story is told so well about the the MST and the whole thing looks professionally produced. This will be a great legacy for years to come and what a gift you gave to all of us! Thank you! Can't wait to see the next episodes!

    Thoroughly enjoyed the interviews! Great job, y’all! I was fortunate to be in Allen de Hart’s Hiking and Backpacking class at Louisburg College back in the early 90s. I’m still inspired to this day by all of his accomplishments! I remember being in awe of how many miles he’d hiked by the time I arrived at Louisburg.
