We are very excited to announce that we are going to make the Grand Canyon episode a 3 part episode just because there was so much history and mysteries.
So in this first episode we’ll start with the usual stuff like how big it is, deaths per year, things like that. Then we’ll jump into the History of it, including 2 crazy plane crashes that happened and end with a heart warming yet intense story of two brothers and their photography business.

Summary
Voyageurs National Park, located in Minnesota, was established in 1975 and is home to the Chippewa or Ojibwe people. The park's lakes and waterways were important for fur trading between the French and Indigenous populations. The park was named after the French Canadian voyagers who paddled long distances to trade furs. The abandoned gold mines in the park were operational from 1893 to 1898 during the Rainy Lake Gold Rush. The park also features ice caves near Lake Superior, a mysterious waterfall called Devil's Kettle, a floating post office, and sightings of a rare white moose. The park is designated as a dark sky sanctuary, making it ideal for stargazing.

Today, we're diving into the paranormal side of Denali National Park, Alaska.
Looking for a haunted hotel? The Historic Anchorage Hotel is full of spooky activity that'll keep you up all night!
Ever wondered how many bodies are currently on Mount Denali? Take a guess, then tune in to find out if you're right.
You've probably heard of the Bermuda Triangle (not sure why that one is so popular), but have you heard of the Alaskan Triangle? Way more people have disappeared here—it's mind-blowing!
We'll wrap up with a couple of mythical creatures: the Keelut and the Wendigo. Check out Instagram for pictures, but beware—the Wendigo is seriously terrifying!

Hey guys! Let's take a look at the paranormal side of these beautiful islands. I'll admit, before we did this episode, I didn't even know about Channel Islands National Park! Now, here we are, looking for spectral sailors who never made back to shore, hoping to find buried treasure (which may or may not be cursed), and watching out for departed lighthouse keepers still roaming the halls.
As always, we need a fun place to stay too! The Glen Tavern Inn is just a hop, skip, and jump-scare away from the islands. Learn about its history of poker games and prohibition-era shenanigans (where Ashlee would most likely run the speakeasy and be a flapper?), now a cozy spot where you can sleep like the dead—literally - eek!
