“The Trek was undeniably one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. The scenery was unmatched in its beauty, and the overall adventure of backpacking proved to be unlike anything I could have imagined. Despite this remarkable aspect of the Trek, the most compelling portion was the seminars held by Chris [Hedges].”
