Earth’s history is marked with the rise and fall of many great civilizations. All of whom had their own ways of living and thoughts on dying. Today we travel to South America to learn about the Ancient Inca Capacocha ritual and uncover what lies within the world’s highest tombs, and what they can tell us about people of the past.

Surprise! We may be on vacation this week, but that doesn't mean we can't bring you a new episode. Please enjoy our recent guest appearance on Tooth and Claw. Tooth and Claw description: Cassie and Danielle from National Park After Dark joined us recently for the first (and hopefully not last) Tooth and Claw Interview Series to talk a little bit about the history of feeding bears in Yellowstone, and then answer a slew of mostly ridiculous questions about themselves, including who between them would win in a fight and whether cake and ice cream counts as one desert, or two. Make sure to check out Tooth and Claw wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!

Our Merch store has reopened with all new designs! https://nationalparkafterdark.shop/ Who are you? One of the most basic questions at face value, but amongst the deepest and most thought-provoking, soul-searching prompts there is. Most commonly when asked this – you respond simply with your name. Our names are an incredibly important piece of our identity. We take pride in them and pass them on to future generations to honor the ones we love that came before. Today we visit our home state of New Hampshire to visit the White Mountains National Forest to investigate some of the darker tales that led to the naming of some of its most celebrated features.

Today we had the opportunity to sit down with Jeremy Evans. He is an avid outdoorsman, family man and author. Growing up in Alberta he fell in love with the outdoors and dedicated most of his life to being in it - often times alone - deep in the backcountry. It was on one of those solo adventures in August of 2017 when he had what he describes as an “oh shit” moment when he witnessed a terrifying sight - a lone grizzly cub. Instinctually he knew mama was nearby, and he was right. Mauled Lessons Learned from A Grizzly Bear Attack details what happened next that forever changed Jeremy, but didn’t stop him. Get in touch with Jeremy HERE and find his book HERE We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.

There’s something special about a good old fashioned treasure hunt that never grows old, no matter when the story took place or who was involved. From finding veins of gold in Alaska to buried loot in the desert, striking it rich in this way is a fantasy. But sometimes, fantasy becomes reality, and it changes everything. When treasure in the form of 6,000 pounds of high-grade Mexican marijuana fell from the California sky during a plane crash in the winter of 1976, lives were changed and lives were lost – and legend was carved into the soul of Yosemite National Park. We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
