Great list. I love the Eddie Vedder song Hard Sun and anything by Pearl Jam. I'm sure mine will include a long list of 80's songs. I'll be starting on August 13th........

I did a similar list of my top ten for walking on the Camino de Santiago in Spain. I actually have an entire playlist with walking themed songs and inspirational songs on my iPod. Great suggestions. I made a Spotify list of your favorites from this post. Very cool!

What about "I'm Walking" by Fats Domino?

Mountain Sound was basically the theme song of my adventures last summer, and I have a feeling it will be again. You've got some awesome stuff on there! Another epic one you might want to check out it M83 - Outro. It's a little bit slower, but so beautiful!

Ends of the Earth by Lord Huron is pretty great

"Tres Domine'" by Hammock is awesome.
Andre Sousa
Great playlist, thanks for sharing

I would agree with Katie. Lord Huron is a must. I'd also add First Aid Kit and The Head & the Heart.

Great playlist! I would recommend adding Spirit Bird by Xavier Rudd feels like I'm in the mountains everytime I hear this song and it feels like a call to the soul.
