I used to be something of a curmudgeon on the question of whether or not it's cool to listen to music while hiking. Then I took a walk in a town forest during Year 1 of the Covid-19 pandemic, inserted my earbuds, and queued up the soundtrack for Terrence Malick's The New World (a re-telling of the story of Pocahontas.) I haven't looked back since then. On a gentler hike where you don't have to worry about natural hazards, pairing the journey with music from the cinematic universe can make for a uniquely transporting experience. To get you started, I've highlighted 15 of my favorite movies soundtracks for hikes. Just make sure to use earbuds or headphones, as that it's a private serenade.
