Joshua Tree Mysteries

Host: Pat Draven
About this episode

Joshua Tree National Park is a place of both awe and beauty. Perhaps that is why thousands of hikers, photographers, and stargazers come here and vanish under mysterious and bizarre circumstances.

However, in many of these occurrences, remains are found- and that makes it different than the typical disappearance cases -where often times nothing is found.

But in the Joshua Tree National Park, it's what is discoveredwith the remains that adds to the overall mystery.

 So, in this episode, we will enter Joshua Tree National Park-and leave the safety of the designated trails, to see ifthere is more out there to learn about the park and the mystery behind why people vanish there.
