Tripping is an hour long documentary from 1999 about Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters. The Pranksters were a group of hippies led by Ken Kesey who took a psychedelic road trip across the United States in a school bus.

Their iconic school bus was covered in trippy patterns and day-glo colors, making heads turn whenever it drove by. The story of the Merry Pranksters is detailed in Tom Wolfe's book, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.

This documentary features archive footage of Ken Kesey and some of the key Pranksters such as Mountain Girl.

The story of the Pranksters is one that fascinated me from the moment I first learned of their incredible journey across the country.
