Mistake or Malice? Zion National Park

Episode 16,   May 10, 2021, 04:00 AM

Set aside your fear of heights and keep an open mind as we embark on the Observation Point Trail in Zion National Park – the same trail where Patricia Bottarini lost her life. Today, 24 years later, whether her death was a result of an ill intentioned husband or a tragic accident is not clear. In this week’s episode listen as Danielle walks us through the events leading up to her death, and the controversy that followed.

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.
