Summary

On New Year's Eve, two hikers finish at the southernmost point in the continental United States. Two more are there to watch, about to attempt the same thing themselves, starting the next morning. Episode 4 follows the border-to-border expansion of the Calendar Year Triple Crown: 10,000 miles, 24 states, a trail name earned by refusing to stop, a month on the Continental Divide Trail without seeing another hiker, and a series-closing question that's been waiting since episode one: why do any of them do this at all?
