Trapped on Trail: Survival Under Pressure
Boulders don’t warn you before they move. In this episode of Wild Curiosity, we explore four true stories of hikers who were unexpectedly pinned by massive rocks in remote wilderness areas. From a solo fisherman in Colorado to a young adventurer rescued by helicopter in the Inyo Mountains, each of these people faced the same terrifying reality—trapped, alone, and running out of options. Some made it out. One didn’t. All left behind something unforgettable.
