We're going to go on a hike.
Paige: Oh yeah.
We're going on a 10-mile hike.
Casual 10-mile hike.
Paige: No big deal.
No big deal.
All right, see you there.
How do you like it so far?
Paige: Good, yeah.
Pretty?
Paige: Beautiful.
Are you going to be like an avid hiker now?
Paige: Yeah, I've been training for this.
So I have to continue to hike after this, yeah.
Holy shit.
That's absolutely insane.
I feel like I'm in Patagonia right now, that's insane.
So Paige and I are going to do a ritual that I learned about like two weeks ago at a retreat
I was doing.
Meditate and like become a plant or a lake or whatever is around you.
Like you really think about what it is to be that thing.
Like what it's like to be a tree or what it's like to be a lake, so.
Paige: I'm going to visualize what it's like to be the water in the lake.
Yeah.
Paige: How about you?
Maybe a pine tree.
Being in the forest is a wonderful opportunity to meditate or at least give it a try if you've
never done it before.
The practice that we're doing here is called Shinrin-yoku.
It was developed in Japan in the 1980s and stateside, we call it forest bathing.
Forest bathing is basically taking in all of your surroundings, the sights, the smells,
the feeling of being there, and really dropping into the present moment and imagining what
it's like to be a tree or water or any plant that you decide to feel a connection to.
It's a beautiful way to reduce your stress and increase your dopamine levels.
After a beautiful forest bathing session, it's time to visit a hot spring.
What a great way to finish out the day especially after horseback riding and going on a hike.
Idaho has hundreds of hot springs but this one, in particular, has a barn around it and
what I think is super cool is that it's super hot, it's right on the river and it is framed
by some seriously gorgeous mountains in Stanley.
Paige: This is so pretty.
Woma n: So excited for healthy food.
Cashier: Here's your card.
Woman: Thank you.
Cashier: Thank you.
Paige: Dude, I freaking love these bottles, look.
Oh yeah, nice.
Paige: Right?
We should set our intention into it before we drink.
Paige: Okay, setting the intention of...
Yeah, put your hand on it.
Of nourishing, love and light and amazingness, thank you for healing our bodies.
Yes.
Woman: Beautiful.
Made it to Sun Valley or Ketchum.
I'm not really clear on when one ends and the other begins.
But we found a really healthy food place and I'm super excited.
Paige: It's so pretty.
I don't want to eat it.
But I think you'll find a way, won't you?
First big bite.
Is it good?
The happy food dance.
Paige: Yes.
What are your thoughts?
It's not what I expected.
I just checked into Hotel Ketchum and it is so cute.
Paige: Make sure you show them this view...
Yeah, you need to see the view.
Paige: ...from our window.
Bam, that's amazing.
Paige: Wowsers.
Cheers, oh, to the view.
Paige: Sun is setting.
In Sun Valley.
Paige: Wow.
All right.
Good morning from Ketchum.
It's breakfast time and Paige is already in there because this is a coffee shop and a
thrift store.
How can you get a better combo than that?
Paige: Would you like some water?
Woman: Yes, please.
Good morning.
So it's our last day in Idaho.
We're flying out later today.
And we're headed to Craters of the Moon National Monument first and Paige is already in her
Moonman attire.
And I'm basically wearing a beach ball, so.
Paige: Parachute?
I didn't get the memo.
Parachute.
I'm going to parachute into the lava tubes.
Let's do it.
As the view on the side of the road went from green farmland to black volcanic rock, we
knew that we'd arrived at Craters of the Moon National Monument.
And this is nothing like what you expected in Idaho.
What up, from Craters of the Moon National Monument.
So we backtracked a little bit to go here but it's worth it because this is a huge lava
field.
And there is some really cool lookouts as well as some wildflowers growing right now
in June.
And some lava caves that we're going to go into right now starting with one called, 'The
Indian Tunnel.'
That's right.
What do you think of Craters of the Moon?
Paige: This is so badass.
It is pretty badass.
Paige: Looks nothing like the rest of Idaho.
That is a fact.
Paige: I think this is one of my favorite parts of the trip just because it's such a
wonder and looks nothing like anything else that we've seen this trip.
Looks like we're walking through a land of constipated poop hills or burnt brownies.
Okay, I see that.
You're...let it never be said that you're not creative.
Paige: Let it never be said.
Paige: We're on the moon.
We're on the moon.
Paige: We're on the moon.
I'd seen this before but I'd never stopped and I'm glad we did this time.
I feel like I'm in Hawaii or like I don't know, not Idaho.
This is cool.
Paige: I was very surprised by Idaho.
I had no idea of all the stuff that it has to offer.
Yeah, it was actually really cool.
Paige: Super magical.
And oh, totally forgot the hot springs were amazing.
Yeah, I like that too.
Paige: Yeah.
Well, now our trip's pretty much over.
We're just driving back to Boise and then it's time to fly home.
Paige: So sad.
Yeah, it is sad.
Paige: I'm bummed.
But...
Paige: What an adventure.

Their seeds don't want to spread.
Okay, you can still make a wish anyway.
Paige: All right, okay.
