Other mistake: In the motel room after the lead character's one night stay, she is seen repacking her hiking and camping equipment which is splayed across two single made-up beds, one of which should have been slept in. (00:05:00)

Continuity mistake: About where she's heading 5 miles, in one shot Cheryl's (Reese Witherspoon) watch and bracelet are on her left wrist and in one shot they are both on her right wrist. Then throughout the rest of the film, Cheryl's watch and bracelet are on her left.

Factual error: They claim she only took 92 days to hike the entire PCT trail... which would require hiking around 28 miles a day with no zero days. They show her spending the first month hiking around 10 miles a day... so this is doesn't make sense. They show the wrong trail head location for the PCT. They don't film on the true Northbound trail head location (The border would be in view). They claim Kennedy meadows is only 100 miles in... It's 700 miles in. She camps and sleeps about 5-7 miles in the first hiking day on a lovely clear patch of ground. In reality she would have to set up on a narrow path (right on the trail) uphill, as there would be no place to set up at that little of a distance on the real trail.

Suggested correction: She never claimed to want to hike the entire trail, only 1000 miles of it. She started in the Mohave desert; Kennedy Meadows South is at mile 702.2, meaning she may have started at around mile 600. Bridge of the Gods at the Oregon/Washington border (where she stopped) is at mile 2147. If she started at 600, then she actually hiked for 1,547 miles. The numbers *are* weird, but not nearly as weird as this "error" claims.

Cheryl: I know only that I didn't need to reach with my bare hands anymore. That seeing the fish beneath the surface was enough. That it was everything. My life -like all lives - mysterious, irrevocable and sacred, so very close, so very present, so very belonging to me. How wild it was, to let it be.
