Documentary of the First Women to Hike the Continental Divide Trail

In 1978 when 19% of the Continental Divide Trail was "suitable for hiking" Lynn Wisehart and Jeannie Smith set out to become the first women to hike its length. This is the story of their almost seven month adventure. The multimedia program you are viewing was originally produced in the Oregon State University educational media lab in 1978. We utilized three projectors, three screens and dissolve. Audio was recorded on 4-track reel-to-reel tape. The slides and audio were finally digitized in 2010 and reformatted into the current program employing the Fotomagico software in 2014.
