8: Cascade Catastrophe, America's Deadliest Avalanche

from Wild Curiosity · host Mandalynn Carlson

This week on Wild Curiosity, we’re diving into a chilling tale from Washington’s snowy Cascades. In 1910, one of the deadliest avalanches in U.S. history struck Stevens Pass, hurling two Great Northern trains into the icy abyss and claiming 96 lives. Join me as we unravel the tragic story of the Wellington avalanche, exploring the events leading up to the disaster, its haunting aftermath, and the eerie echoes that linger along the Iron Goat Trail today. Blending history, mystery, and personal anecdotes, this episode is a snowy adventure you won’t forget.
