- Quotes
[last lines]
Cheryl: [voiceover] It took me years to be the woman my mother raised. It took me 4 years, 7 months and 3 days to do it, without her. After I lost myself in the wilderness of my grief, I found my own way out of the woods.
[pause]
Cheryl: And I didn't even know where I was going until I got there, on the last day of my hike. Thankyou, I thought over and over again, for everything the trail had taught me and everything I couldn't yet know.
[pause]
Cheryl: Now in 4 years, I'd cross this very bridge. I'll marry a man in a spot almost visible from where I was standing. Now in 9 years, that man and I would have a son named Carver and a year later, a daughter named after my mother, Bobbi. I knew only that I didn't need to eat with my bare hands anymore. That seeing the fish beneath the surface of the water would be enough, that it was everything. My life, like all lives, mysterious, irrevocable, sacred, so very close, so very present, so very belonging to me. How wild it was, to let it be?

Not saying this movie was horrible,but so many better stories by others could of been told.. This trail surely has many stories to tell,but hers wasn't solely worthy.
When someone takes on such a journey it's to learn & grow,her approach felt more of an escape to runaway.
She was about.. Bad relationships,drugs,sex,unwanted pregnancy & always a victim. Yet somehow she becomes a hero,because of hiking a trail? Wow! If not for help along the way she would of had to quit before hardly beginning,again poor life choices.
Again because she was a female & traveling alone,this made her inspirational? Not really.
Food for thought: Would anyone of watched this if presented as a documentary? Doubtful. Why it became a movie with a good cast,otherwise it wouldn't of got anywhere.
The continuous flashbacks instead of helping you feel emotions,caused you to disconnect regarding her life.
The cinematography was decent,still worth checking out if bored.
