Description

In 2020 Jacob Velarde set out on an adventurous hike to Indian Maiden Falls—an isolated canyon trail known for its narrow ledges and sweeping views. But a single slip turned his journey into a battle for survival. In this gripping episode, we follow Jacob’s trek, his unexpected fall into the canyon, and the determination that kept him fighting through the harsh terrain. A story of wilderness, courage, and the moment everything changed.
