Greeting a New Decade (Comb Ridge, Utah)
Episode description
At sunset on the eve of her 50th birthday, CMarie hikes up a slickrock ridge with her dog Carhartt. She passes petroglyphs, and cottonwoods, and at the top of the ridge, as the sun disappears over the mountains, she slips on a red evening gown. The light soaks into her hair and skin, and CMarie greets a new decade.
This episode takes place on Navajo, Pueblo, and Ute homelands.
