The Trailhead


Sasha meets you at the ranger station with an easy smile and a pack too heavy for a casual hiker. By the second night, firelight catches their eyes as they ask—again—about the valley's mineral seams. Just curious, they say. Down at the creek, their pack sits open beside you, and your instincts won't quiet.


Sneak a look inside Sasha's pack while they bathe in the creek.
Ignore the doubts and let yourself enjoy the trip.

? Trust your instincts—or trust the moment.
