Summary

Located in the North Cascades of Washington State, Hidden Lake Trail is a moderately strenuous out and back trail that passes through thick cool forests, vast open wildflower filled meadows, & rocky slopes, before ending at an amazing fire lookout on top a steep rocky pinnacle.  Two disappearances on the trail, Spring 2021 & Fall 2019, have puzzled searchers to this day.  Join us this week as we discuss the disappearances and subsequent recoveries of Rachel Lakoduk & Tom Simonseth.  (Episode 93)
