Travel | True Crime | History Hi! I'm Marilyn. After traveling with my family to all 50 states, I am fascinated by the stories this country has to tell. The good ones and the bad ones. The Viva America podcast won’t just share the morbid, terrifying and haunting stories of this nation, but the inspirational, wholesome and inspiring stories as well. Balance is good. Join my son, Cameron, and I as we reflect on the places that we have visited and share stories that fascinate us. Or horrify us. Or inspire us. Or fill us with despair. Or make us want to head out on another adventure.

E1: Angel's Landing @ Zion National Park | What goes up, comes down... one way or another.

Angel's Landing is one of the most popular hikes in Zion National Park.  It's also one of the most dangerous.  This episode tells some of the stories of those who have fallen.  At the end of the day, they are just like you or I or anyone else.  Their stories allow us to remember them, learn from them and appreciate the wonder that they no doubt also had for Zion National Park.  

The organization nominated for a donation from this episode is Camp Chewonki in Maine in memory of Savannah McTague.  You can learn more about them here: https://camp.chewonki.org/
