Basin And Range Trail

1000 Mile Nevada Thru Hike Documentary: Pioneering Nevada’s Basin and Range Trail

In 2020, I walked a new 1000 mile thru hiking route across Nevada’s backcountry. The unique Basin and Range topography here is stunning and remote, difficult and rewarding. I’ve filmed this trek and have produced a 60 minute film that documents this epic journey across one of the last true wilderness areas in the west. And now, you can watch “Pioneering Nevada’s Basin and Range Trail” to experience this journey for yourself!

Eric Poulin is a long distance hiker/thru hiker, backpacker & outdoor adventurer. I quit my job and sold my house in 2018 to thru-hike the Continental Divide Trail, and since have been mapping new thru-hiking routes of my own. In 2020, I created/hiked an original 1000+ mile thru-hiking route across Nevada called the Basin and Range Trail. In 2021, I blazed a new 600 mile off-trail thru hiking route from Southern Nevada to southern Arizona, called the Mojave-Sonoran Trail. I have several more new long distance/off-trail hikes in the works, from a few hundred miles to over 4000. Additionally, I am a fisherman, rockhound and most recently, a van lifer. My ultimate goal is to spend as much of my life doing what I enjoy, pursuing my outdoor adventure hobbies. I hope to share my adventures with you, along with some inspiration!
