Blissful works here way through the Mazatzals, overwhelmed by the enormous, staggering and disorienting size and remoteness. 

In this episode:

1. Things begin on the aptly named Rocky Ridge opening to huge views that overwhelm, even causing a bit a panic. 
2. There's plenty of water and plenty of steep ups and downs to Bull Frog Ridge. 
3. Blissful makes the mistake of skipping water at Brush Spring and it's an endless, steep climb mostly down to the East Verde River, a glorious oasis where she meets Dennis and Frauke again. 
4. Uphill, they discuss what makes them happy – so many things, like friends, flowers, water, views and being strong. 
5. They camp near each other under a velvet sky of diamond-like stars. 

MUSIC: Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, piano
