50. An Employee's Deadly Hike (Glacier National Park, Montana)

A national park employee set off alone into the stunning but unforgiving backcountry of Glacier National Park. He planned to hike the Floral Park Traverse—a brutal off-trail route with sheer drop-offs, icy creeks, and unpredictable terrain. But he never returned. What followed was one of the park's largest search-and-rescue efforts, involving helicopters, scent dogs, and dozens of rangers. For weeks, the mountains held their silence.Sources: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glacier_National_Park_(U.S.)https://obits.mlive.com/us/obituaries/grandrapids/name/jakson-kreiser-obituary?id=20553990https://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/news/missing-hiker-located.htmhttps://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/jakson-kreiserhttps://www.mlive.com/news/grand-rapids/2013/01/autopsy_hudsonville_hiker_drow.htmlhttps://www.nps.gov/glac/learn/news/media12-53.htmSupport the showJoin our Patreon for bonus content!
