Album Description:

As part of a rehabilitative program for U.S. veterans returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan, Sun Valley Adaptive Sports takes soldiers on short nature trips to Idaho's beautiful backcountry. Through meditative outdoor activities like fly fishing and the companionship of other combat vets, they learn to cope with both physical disabilities and the profound emotional stress that can come from military experiences.
