What it is about

Hosted by two friends who share a passion for public lands and a fascination with what can go wrong there, each week hosts Danielle and Cassie explore the darker side of our National Parks. But it isn’t always chills and thrills. By utilizing storytelling as a form of environmental stewardship, they hope listeners will be inspired to take a walk into the wild to create meaningful adventures of their own.
