Feeling stressed out?

I've got just what the doctor ordered: 2 minutes of daydreaming. Enjoy!

As the author, Chris Giordano, mentions, this is a short clip of the beautiful Sequoia National Park throughout the Sierra Nevada mountains in California. The park is home to a wonderful assortment of plant life, including General Sherman; the largest tree by volume in the world, and animal life, such as black bears, mule deer, mountain lions, trout, hawks, and more.

Last week, we saw Kilian start his attempt to break the Lake Tahoe Rim Trail record. Part II came out today!

What I found crazy was that his endeavour was really difficult, but he made it look so easy. It's like he was going for a simple morning run. Wow!

Come watch with us as Kilian Jornet attemps to break the Lake Tahoe Rim Trail. 265 km. This takes average people 12 days. The attempt is to do it in 40 hours! The video's worth it just for the shots.

The old record belongs to Tim Twietmeyer.

We'll see if Kilian, his southern France accent and a VO2 Max of 92 can find it in his inner self to push his limits. Join us on October the 23rd to find out the rest!

Thank you to Journal du Trek for the link to the video.
