162: Vanished at Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument
About this episode
The episode discusses the mysterious disappearance of a hiker during a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument.
On the first afternoon of a nine-day backpacking trip through one of the most remote areas of the Grand Canyon, three experienced hikers encountered a relatively ordinary obstacle: a hill standing between them and their intended route. Two members of the group climbed up and over it, while the third decided to follow the hillside around. They agreed to meet on the other side, but when the first two hikers arrived, their longtime friend was nowhere to be found. Despite an intensive search across miles of rugged desert terrain, no confirmed trace of him has ever been discovered.
