In this episode of False Summit, we’re bringing you two trail stories that start in the mist and end in the what-the-actual-hell.

First up: The Mist — a foggy honeymoon hike in Shenandoah that goes from romantic to are-we-about-to-die? when a strange man with a multitool mutters something about finding teeth. Yeah. Teeth.

Then we head north for Bonsoir, Mt. Washington, where two overconfident hikers become accidental mountain saviors after stumbling upon a French couple in sneakers, slowly freezing to death on one of the most dangerous peaks in the Northeast. Let’s just say they were one baguette away from a Search & Rescue headline.

Plus:

🎧 Trail Mix — songs that hit harder when you're a few miles deep and questioning your life choices.

🎒 Trail Etiquette & Other Shit — why trails aren’t just good for your soul, but also your wallet (and your town’s economy).

And as always, we’ll wrap it up with some chit chat, a few closing thoughts, and a reminder that if it feels like you’ve reached the top… you probably haven’t.
