First sentence: High in the Rockies, in secluded mountain villages like Vail, there were still some things on which you could depend.
Description: A tenacious man, woman and their Tibetan horse dare to challenge fate and the bounds of endurance on an "impossible" 1000-kilometer Himalayan trek from Lhasa, Tibet to Kathmandu. In the shadow of snowy Everest, they witness a Tibetan culture pushed to the edge of extinction and discover the human link connecting us all. A riveting tale of courage and poignant eulogy for a vanishing Shangri-La.
