Listen Later

A quick one for you today!

And fr, go check out this area of Colorado and the Alpine Loop Rd. In the dead of a Colorado winter in 1874, six men entered the snow-choked San Juan Mountains. Only one returned.

This episode of Wild Curiosity unpacks the chilling true story of Alferd Packer, a self-proclaimed wilderness guide who emerged from the mountains alone—with a disturbing tale of starvation, death, and survival cannibalism. But the more he talked, the less things added up.
