What really happened on that Mountain Pass?

Discover the perplexing details surrounding the incident as we decipher the remaining records and artifacts. Learn about the anomalies surrounding the case - from the unexplainable injuries, the infamous "tent cut from the inside," to the haunting final images captured on the hikers' cameras. This episode bristles with a mix of adventure, mystery, and the eerie feeling that some things are better left unknown.
