The Gorge

This is the true story of a Venturing Crew's harrowing journey through Hellsgate Wilderness and down Tonto Gorge. Follow a well-meaning youth leader as he and his boys set off on a backpacking trip that quickly pushes them to their limits and ultimately forges a bond for life. At the suggestion of their good Bishop, the Priest quorum and their advisor plan a four day backpacking trip down Tonto gorge. None of them completely understood what they were in for until it was too late to turn back. The group must make their way from Little Green Valley, up and over Apache Ridge and down through Tonto Narrows outside of Gisela. It's a twenty five mile excursion mostly in the confines of the canyon formed by Tonto Creek. They must pull together to insure that everyone makes it out alive.
