97. Missing on Mount Holy Cross (White River National Forest, Colorado)

Hikers who separate from a group statistically are four times more likely to die than group hikers who become lost and never separate. Many of these hikers that separate from their groups are still missing, lost to the wilderness. This is what happened in White River National Forest in 2005. Sources:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_of_the_Holy_Crosshttps://apps.colorado.gov/apps/coldcase/casedetail.html?id=1155https://www.outsideonline.com/outdoor-adventure/hiking-and-backpacking/michelle-vanek-mount-holy-cross/?scope=anonhttps://www.strangeoutdoors.com/mysterious-stories-blog/michelle-vanekFollow me on Instagram here.Support the showThe 10 Essentials for Outdoor Recreation here.Leave No Trace (LNT) principles here.Share a "Campfire Story" for us to read on the pod! email us: [email protected] Me a Coffee Hosted on Acast.
