Ep. 3 Trial by Fire
Doing something for the first time, especially when it has known dangers, often requires a leap of faith in yourself and in others, but what comes out the other side can be magical. And worth it.
Stories in this episode take you into the doubts, feelings, and triumphs of women who tackle adventure for the first time. One is a jaunt across Glacier National Park, another is an overnighter to the next town, and the last is a 200-mile technical challenge along the Mission section of the Baja Divide — as a complete novice.
