On September 22, 2009, I embarked on a 14-day solo trek through North Cascades National Park. As my first successful solo trek of two weeks or more, it is a milestone. This film is my story from that experience, and it is my first multimedia production.
Ever since I started combining backpacking and photography, I’ve dreamed of going to the places that few people could. I have dreamed of telling stories of experiences in wild places, of rivers that no one has heard of, waterfalls without names, giant trees that have never seen an axe or bulldozer, of one mountain in a sea of siblings.
To see images from this trek, in all their glory, here is a link to the featured gallery. (Note: You will stay within the ericzamora.com Web site when clicking this link)

  written by chad anderson , March 20, 2010 Very cool eric! I finally got time to watch it. What an amazing trip that must have been. Good for you man. I really like the before and after weight shot and the good day bad day one. Well Captured. I felt like I was there, except my feet dont hurt. Later Man, Chad  written by kathryn , March 05, 2010 Beautiful! What an awesome tribute to such a beautiful landscape. Also, a great reminder of why our parks are so precious. BTW - when the camera was on your pack... really felt like I was riding along piggyback. Thanks for the ride, man. Could you take me to Glacier next? :D  written by Larry Schnell , November 02, 2009 Eric: nice work, well put together, music, video, voice; I enjoyed it. What a trip too. Great to see my former students out there doing creative work. I'm proud of you. Can't wait to see another piece.  written by Eric Zamora , November 01, 2009 I hope to see you on the trail one day as well Dale. If you see someone with a tripod and a camera strapped to a huge pack and a determined look in their eyes, stop that person and ask them their name. It's probably me!  written by Dale , October 31, 2009 Don't know who you are dude, but from one backbacker to another, that was a beautiful piece of work sir! I'm really in awe having just watched such a wonderful journey unfold. You do great work young man, for us as well as for this earth. Hope to see you on the trail some day. Omega  written by Aunt Pattie , October 30, 2009 I new this would be good, but I can't believe how truly wonderful this is Eric. It was like reading a very good classic book and not being able to put it down until finished. One to be read over and over again. Wow what an adventure and truly well documented and interesting film. It is a lifetime treasure. Love and blessings to you in your travels. God speed written by Eric Zamora , October 30, 2009 It warms my heart to read the comments you all have posted about my video. Truth be told, it was a project quintessential of my life and my business – flying by the seat of my pants. I had only a vague idea of how the video would flow when I started creating it, but I knew that once I started, everything would fall into place. Twenty six minutes is a tough sell. The fact that people have not only endured through that 26 minutes but that they enjoyed every second, gives me the confidence to move forward in pursuing my dreams. Thank you.  written by Kristen Grace , October 30, 2009 Eric, this is fantastic. You obviously had a vision and achieved it with flying colors. Well, done, I am impressed. This does not seem like your first multimedia project. Keep up the good work, you have tremendous momentum.  written by Donna Brinckerhoff , October 29, 2009 Eric, The color...the layers....the beauty.....the music.....the depth......the PAIN. I am overwhelmed by the immensity of your committment, and of the final product. There are no words to express the joy I feel for you.  written by Scott Brinckerhoff, Haddam, CT , October 28, 2009 A beautiful and magnificent tribute to nature. Eric's talents and dedication to preserving the Earth shine through in this thoughtful collection of images, music and words. All in all, a stunning production and I look forward to Eric's next adventure ... maybe Alaska?  written by Mike Rewis , October 28, 2009 Eric, we are so very proud of your accomplishments. So proud that you chose to follow your heart and passion. The rewards speak for themselves. Thanks for sharing...and please come visit again soon. We would love to see you and show you our new home. Use us as a base camp and come out to the last frontier.  written by Dan Eschenfelder , October 28, 2009 You're kidding right? I gotta be honest with ya, when I saw the runs time was 26 mins. I swallowed hard. But when I started watching, I truly could not stop! Eric, you did it brother. This was a very enjoyable piece. Perfect documentation of an OBVIOUSLY very difficult hike — even more so with 20 extra pounds of photography equipment to haul. Fantastic job Eric. Looking forward to your next piece.
