Recap
MacGyver drives out to Dead Horse State Park to follow a pair of mating Golden Eagles and find their nest, as part of a Phoenix Foundation program. He's to make sure the eggs are protected from natural hazards as well as men. MacGyver takes a hang glider up into the mountains to follow the eagles. He tracks them to an inaccessible peak, assembles the hang glider, and flies after them. He copies the eagles' flight path so they'll be comfortable enough around him to go back to their nest. On the ground below, a young boy, Darin Cooper, is out with his dog and spots MacGyver while watching the eagles. MacGyver flies by him and waves...Read the full recap

Filming Location: Dead Horse Point State Park, UT
Episode Quotes
MacGyver: And to track an eagle, you've sort of got to become one. Get up there with 'em.
Darin Cooper: I just want to do things. She won't let me.
MacGyver: Did you talk to her about it? Try?
Darin Cooper: She doesn't listen.
MacGyver: Well, if you don't talk, what's she going to listen to? Just a thought.
MacGyver: Did you talk to her about it? Try?
Darin Cooper: She doesn't listen.
MacGyver: Well, if you don't talk, what's she going to listen to? Just a thought.
MacGyver: You know, the only arguments I ever had with my mother were about bed time. I finally had to let her stay up until ten.
MacGyver: Nature gives people and animal instincts that help them to survive. But up on the mountain, a part of nature was in danger of disappear, and instinct alone wasn't going to save it.
MacGyver: It took a little doing, but I figured out in a hurry the things a climber really needs. A pair of strong hands, a set of steady nerves, and a paid-up insurance policy.
MacGyver: They say drowning men see their lives flash before them. Falling men do, to. At least, this man did. And what I saw was about fifty years too short.
MacGyver: I personally don't know which is more dangerous. Falling off a wedge of ice down the side of a mountain, or falling into a thousand foot crevasse. And I really don't want to know.
MacGyver: I really wanted to get that eagle down to the cabin. But then I remembered there's only one kind of climber who tries to get down a mountain in the middle of a snowstorm. The kind you never hear from again.
