The Donner Party

Steve retraces the perilous journey of the Donner Party through the unforgiving Sierra Nevada Mountains, where 19th-century pioneers were trapped by brutal winter storms. Rather than focusing solely on the tragedy, Steve faces the snow-covered terrain to explore the survival tactics, difficult choices, and sheer human endurance required to navigate one of America’s most infamous ordeals.
