This month we take a ride, hike and race up Pikes Peak. This National Historic Landmark has quite the history - between indigenous history, the gold rush, “the frozen five” and the Race to the Clouds, this peak has seen it all. Come along as we explore “America’s Mountain” and discover some of the people who have lived and died for her. Available now for Outsiders on Patreon and Apple Subscriptions!

Wilderness Therapy – some praise it, others shame it. In the 1980’s Steve Cartisano created the Challenger Foundation, the wilderness therapy camp that promised to reform wayward teens. It seemed like a perfect solution for concerned parents until kids claimed abuse, and others died while in camp care. Today we venture to Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument to understand how Hell Camp earned its name.
