As it turns out, the story about a 2,200-mile trek along the Appalachian Trail was a sojourn of the body and mind for Nick Nolte in “A Walk in the Woods.”

“The views were high—spectacular views,” the 74-year-old tells Made in Hollywood of the sweeping landscape in the Peach Tree State, adding, “So yeah, it was a journey.”

Nolte brings to life the memoir of travel writer Bill Bryson’s five-month expedition, based on the 1998 book that shares the movie title, which stretched from Georgia to Maine.

In the biopic he stars as Stephen Katz, a long-lost friend of Bryson (Robert Redford), who joins the writer on the expedition.

Co-starring Emma Thompson and Mary Steenburgen, “A Walk in the Woods” opens Friday.
