Join Devin and Mike, a father-son duo hiking the great long trails of Europe. Each episode takes a look at at a single day on the trail — with all the highs, lows, stupid moments and semi-profound insights two amateur hikers can provide. In this episode, we bring you to where it all began: at the foot of the French Alps on the first day of the Tour of Mont Blanc. We talk about the highs and lows of the first day on a trail, the joys of a cold beer at the end of a long hike, and ask the most important question of all: why the hell are we doing this?
