The Mist/Bonsoir, Mt. Washington

from False Summit: Tales, Trails and Epic Fails Hosted by Octavia and Em

In this episode of False Summit, we’re bringing you two trail stories that start in the mist and end in the what-the-actual-hell. First up: The Mist — a foggy honeymoon hike in Shenandoah that goes from romantic to are-we-about-to-die? when a strange man with a multitool mutters something about finding teeth. Yeah. Teeth. Then we head north for Bonsoir, Mt. Washington, where two overconfident hikers become accidental mountain saviors after stumbling upon a French couple in sneakers, slowly freezing to death on one of the most dangerous peaks in the Northeast. Let’s just say they were one baguette away from a Search & Rescue headline. Plus: 🎧 Trail Mix — songs that hit harder when you're a few miles deep and questioning your life choices. 🎒 Trail Etiquette & Other Shit — why trails aren’t just good for your soul, but also your wallet (and your town’s economy). And as always, we’ll wrap it up with some chit chat, a few closing thoughts, and a reminder that if it feels like you’ve reached the top… you probably haven’t. 📬 Got a story, fail, or weird trail tale?
