## Resource

The Route Makers finale: Renee "She-Ra" Patrick, longtime coordinator of the Oregon Desert Trail, on a career spent designing some of America's hardest routes and the reinvention that changed what she wants to build. We met Renee in the first episode, at the height of her powers: a professional route maker paid to do what everyone else in this series did on their own time. When we spoke again, everything had changed. This is the story of the last thing a route maker can teach: how to let go of the line you drew, and pick up the pen to draw the next one. Settle in for the final episode of our documentary series.
