As they embarked on their next journey, Maya and Jalen found themselves traversing rugged terrain, the landscape changing dramatically with each passing mile. This new destination took them deep into the heart of a remote wilderness area, where pristine forests and untamed rivers stood threatened by encroaching development and exploitation.
