Tracks is the solo hiking movie that actually gets it right

The #hikingmovie tag reminded me of Tracks - probably the most realistic solo trekking film I’ve ever seen. Mia Wasikowska walks 1,700 miles across the Australian outback with just her camels and dog, and it’s everything Instagram hiking isn’t. What I love is how they show the boring, grinding parts. The blisters, the mental fatigue, those moments where you question why you’re even doing this. Most adventure movies skip that stuff but it’s like 80% of any long trek. It’s based on her actual memoir too, which makes the whole thing even more impressive. Definitely inspired me to plan some longer desert sections. #hikingmovie #Tracks #solohiking #desert
