The Yosemite Killer

Nature's Call: Backpacking Through History Podcast

This is a true crime story with quite a bit of violence discussed – just a heads up.

Cary Stayner murdered four women in the area immediately surrounding Yosemite National Park – he had grown up in the area and worked for a lodge frequented by guests of the National Park.

As I mentioned at the end of the episode, we’ll be doing some stuff around the Eagle Rock Loop in the coming weeks. If you want to pick up the ERL guidebook to take a look and get ready, I’d appreciate it.
