262: The Queen of the Tetons. Grizzly 399.

On October 22, 2024 a legacy ended when Grizzly 399 was hit by a car and killed. She was the most beloved bear in the world and the oldest known grizzly to bear cubs in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. She gained popularity when she strategically raised her cubs by the roadways and tolerated human interaction. In this episode we tell her story, the legacy and impact she left on the conservation world, and the problems that her habituation has had and will continue to cause. Hang out until the end of the episode where we have special trail tales from listeners who had the opportunity to see her in the wild. We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.

What began as an afternoon high school field trip to observe plants became one of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park’s most enduring and puzzling missing persons cases when 16-year-old Trenny Gibson vanished from a trail amongst 40 other students.

Some histories are lost with time, but remnants of their existence remain. Off an unmarked trail within the park, sits an old abandoned cabin that in its hay day was a popular place for tourists to visit. It was once filled with people from around the world, coming to see Anna Wolfrom’s famous Tea Room for themselves. Anna managed to open a hugely successful business in a time it was not common for women to do so, but she didn’t stop there. Remnants of her entrepreneurial spirit remain scattered around Estes Park and the country.

In August of 1982, three generations of one family went on a two week vacation into the mountains of British Columbia. Over a year later, David Shearing was arrested and went to trial for all six of their murders. But as time went on, the details of what happened that night and in the days that followed emerged, and were more horrific than anyone could have anticipated.

246: Lights on the Mountain. Pisgah National Forest.

For generations the stories of ghost lights in the Appalachian forests of North Carolina have captured the attention of locals and piqued the curiosity of travelers. These orbs of light have been witnessed by hundreds over the years, and no one is questioning their existence, they are questioning their origins. Are they spirits? UFOs? Bioluminescent bugs? Automobile headlights? ETs? Today we discuss the Brown Mountain lights. We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.

242: The Valley Killings. Alpine National Park.

In March of 2020, days before the world began to lock down, Russell Hill and Carol Clay ventured to Alpine National Park for a camping trip. When over a week passed without a word from them, the families of the elderly pair grew worried. What investigators discovered was a burnt down campsite, but not the campers. What ensued over the next 18 months unfolded as one of Australia’s most intriguing missing persons cases - which resulted in uncovering an illicit affair, a brutal murder and raised questions of other mysterious cases of the past.

240: Ranger Gone Missing. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.

This week, Cassie's voice is out of commission with a cold so instead of a new episode, we're offering a sneak peak into one of our Outsider Bonus Episodes. Previously this episode has only been available on [Patreon] (http:www.patreon.com/npadpodcast) and Apple Subscriptions. In this episode we follow the life of backcountry Park Ranger, Randy Morgenson. He was a man destine to become a ranger - growing up in Yosemite and summiting extreme peaks as a child, his love for the outdoors was innate. When he accepted the job of a backcountry ranger is Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks, he quickly became legendary for his ability to find missing people. When he himself goes missing, a massive search effort is conducted, but today there are still lots of unanswered questions.

239: Titanic of the West. Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park.

In October of 1918, just days before the end of the first World War, a the Princess Sophia ran aground on Vanderbilt Reef and sank into icy Alaskan waters. Every single one of the over 350 people aboard perished despite rescue boats circling the ship for nearly two days, nearly within arms reach. What has gone down in history as the worst maritime disaster in the history of the pacific northwest has largely been lost to history, but baffles everyone who hears her tale. We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
