Known for his silent hiking films that transport viewers into nature through stunning visuals, ambient sounds, and evocative music, Harmen Hoek’s latest video takes watchers on a stunning bikepacking journey around Utah. The weeklong trip, which he took in July, took him through the rugged landscapes of Canyonlands National Park, the alpine environment of the La Sal Mountains, the remote and blazing-hot Lockhart Basin (where temperatures reached 115ºF), and up and over Hurrah Pass, completing a loop back to Moab.

With the help of strategically placed water caches from David of Moab Bikepacking, Harmen was able to safely traverse the unforgiving terrain and create a uniquely beautiful 35-minute video documenting his ride. Without any dialogue or detracting music, the scenery can speak for itself, and Utah’s landscapes speak volumes. You can watch the full-length ambient video above.
