In 1910 North America was experiencing a boom in industries, and a fight for public lands. Without the knowledge we have today, those two factors came to a head when the protected lands of the Cascade Mountains and Canadian Rocky Mountains were used to connect the west coast to the rest of the country via rail road. No one understood the effects of logging in the mountains and how that would combine with wildfires to create a devastating and deadly game of playing chicken with the train.

But this chicken was the train, and the train was a wall of white. Listen now as this episode covers both the Wellington Avalanche Disaster and the Rodger Pass Disaster, which happened only days apart.

The outdoors are a beautiful that can be filled with light and bliss and many different ways to bring yourself closer to those you love and yourself. But they can also be filled with terror and death, imminent and oppressive. Join me as we dig into these stories that inspire you to be just a little bit more careful while you’re in the outdoors. Please rate and subscribe from whatever listening platform you use.

Merch is now available here!
