The Silent Trail

In this episode we follow Ben Brooks, an experienced hiker from California as he ventures alone on the Bailey Canyon Trail in the Sierra Madre. What began as a routine afternoon hike took a dangerous turn when a black bear forced him off schedule, leading him into darkness and a fateful decision that would leave him injured. Alongside Ben’s gripping account, we explore the critical lessons of hiking safety, preparation, and how even a relaxing hike can hold unexpected risks. Hosted on Acast.
