Anyone who lives in or has traveled throughout Oregon knows that Mt. Hood and the Oregon coastline are two of the most dramatic destinations in a dramatically beautiful state. Which makes the famous, 197-mile Hood to Coast relay–the “mother of all relays” that hits 29 years this August–all the more suitable as the subject of a quirky and exhilarating documentary on what it means to push your body and mind, invigorate your lifestyle, and party with your friends for 36 straight hours in the process. The trailer was just released before the film will be aired at SXSW 2010 next week; watch it above.
Good friend and intrepid adventurer Louis-Martin Guénette is demonstrating the new art of taking the “Embark” sign as far as you can on a recent trek to Mt. Hood.
Bring one yourself to wherever your travels take you, snap a photo for colorful evidence, and send it to us to enter into a yearly drawing for a variety of gifts we give away every year. Winners will also get 10 percent off their next Embark adventure. Dood. That’s some good savings.
In one of her last snowshoe treks on Mt. Hood, Quebecer Marie-eve Sirois joins the staff of Embark for a classic Glade Trail snowshoe. We will miss Marie and hope she returns to Oregon again.
