Here's How We Do That!

Let’s Jump In:

Three friends backpacking six days and five nights through Yosemite's backcountry — two of those days off-trail. The route hits Clouds Rest, Cathedral Lakes, and terrain most people only see in photographs.

Dalton Johnson will document the entire trip in photo and video, telling the story from permit day to the final mile out. Every piece of content runs through the Follow The Journey distribution system, which has generated over one million organic views per 30-day cycle on past projects.

This project guarantees 500,000+ views and puts your product in some of the most visually stunning wilderness in North America.
