    Great film, can watch it again and again!

    Enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the trails. The photos of waterfalls and mountains were amazing. Everyone should see what is out there in our national parks waiting for you to put down the cell phone and computers. A place to clear your mind and relax your body. Everyone looks happy and peaceful as they take time away from their normal routine of 9 to 5. The trail angles provide much needed water, food and a place to stay. The wildlife coexist with the hiker's as they travel the trails with mutual respect for each other. Many new friendships grew among the hiker's as they all reach for the same goal. To complete this trail ensures one that they can handle whatever life throws our way.

    Very inspiring

    This movie really 'spoke' to me in a way that Hollywood cannot. Like most young adults, I'm trying to find a direction and I'm tired of people deciding what's best for me. After watching this film, I feel like hiking the PCT might be the best way for me to find my future.

    All of the hikers in the movie have such unique backgrounds, skills, and viewpoints; and it's amazing how supportive this community is towards one another. I didn't even know such a thing existed 'til I saw this movie!!!

    I am so inspired from the stories they shared and want to go out and explore this world for myself!

    A must for thru hikers and thru hikers to be

    There are some good documentaries about the Pacific Crest Trail and 6 Million Steps is one of the best. It is told from the hiker's perspective and does a good job explaining the many reasons people start, stay on and finish the trail.

    Even if you don't plan on making a long trek there are useful insights into the hiker trail culture that can be learned and applied to everyday life.

    The production and editing is well done and the photography is very good. Aside from interviews of people hiking the trail, the movie gives a beautiful view of the American West from the trail's beginning in the desert, through the Sierra Nevada and on into the high country of NorCal, Oregon and Washington.

    Shows it like it is

    This was an excellent movie about life on the trail. I just returned from my second section hike of the PCT and it made me want to get back out there again as soon as possible!! It was very honest about the struggles and hardships, the days that seem to go on forever and make you want to stop, and those wonderful moments you have out in the wilderness. There are so many random acts of kindness to be found when you are long distance hiking, that it renews your faith in mankind. I love the variety of people interviewed, it would have been nice to see a few more female hikers interviewed, but we are the minority on the trail.

    Inspiring

    It was great to see and hear from the people out on the Pacific Crest trail. To leave your "normal" life behind for months and see the country and nature is something that most of us can only dream of. This film inspires you to find that incredible journey in your life, and walk it one step at a time.

    I am glad that the film tried to show the natural beauty of the trail. Having never been there I now feel like there is a reason to go. It's surprising that so many people join together to make this possible. Not just the hikers, but the Trail Angels, and people in the towns. I felt better about society after watching this film.
