EP3 | Shortcut Gone Wrong | Risky Route to Salmon Glacier
Spirit of Adventure Special

33m
Can the XOVERLAND crew outrun the brutal Alaskan winter? With time slipping away, the team leaves Vancouver Island behind, setting their sights on Tellwa Pass—a 71-mile “shortcut” that promises adventure, challenge, and a faster route north. But shortcuts don’t always go as planned...
In this episode, Clay Croft hands the reins to his sons, letting them take charge of real-world decision-making, route-finding, and the nerve-wracking challenge of maneuvering trailers through unforgiving backcountry. The team quickly learns that Tellwa Pass is no easy feat—washed-out trails and impossible conditions force a high-stakes decision: push forward or pivot and take on a bold new route leading to one of the most legendary views in North America—Salmon Glacier.
Through grizzly country, brutal terrain, and moments that shape a lifetime, this journey is a test of resilience, leadership, and the raw spirit of overlanding. The road north is never easy…but that’s what makes it worth it.
Will they beat the freeze? Will they rise to the challenge? Or will the North have the final say?
