Anyone know any movies about camping, hiking, backpacking?
I'm in the mood for an outdoorsy type movie about something like camping or hiking and I'm drawing a blank on movies of this type...I dont want to watch anything about a summer camp but actual camping or hiking....doesn't really matter what genre(horror, adventure, etc)....something along the lines of "Whitewater Summer" or "The River Wild" would be nice, but I'm open for any suggestions.
'Into the wind' would be your best answer
