The Forgotten Trail

What was meant to be a peaceful hike becomes a desperate fight for survival.

Daniel Carter just wanted a quiet weekend to reconnect with his younger sister, Maya, on the rugged trails of the Rocky Mountains. But when a wrong turn leads them to a long-abandoned ranger station, the siblings uncover something they were never meant to see: a hidden drug lab humming with activity in the wilderness.

Before they can slip away, they’re spotted. Suddenly, the Carters become prey. Armed men flood the forest, determined to erase the only witnesses to their operation. Cut off from help, Daniel and Maya have no weapons, no allies—only a backpack of supplies and the wilderness skills their father taught them years ago.

But knowledge may not be enough. With every mile of unforgiving terrain, every flash of light sweeping through the trees, every snap of a branch behind them, the siblings are pushed to their limits. Hunger gnaws, fear tightens its grip, and trust wavers. Daniel must learn to let Maya’s bold instincts guide them, while Maya must rely on her brother’s steady resolve.

As the hunters close in, escape becomes impossible. Survival will mean outthinking and outlasting an enemy who knows the mountains just as well. And if the siblings fail, the trail they wandered from will become the last they ever walk.

The Forgotten Trail is a pulse-pounding thriller of family, courage, and the unbreakable will to survive when every step could be your last.
