As the story goes, they had driven to a certain part of the wilderness in Montana where a fatal grizzly attack had occurred. When they got there, they almost had a front row seat to a deadly moose takedown - though not if the moose had anything to...

Welcome to the aptly named Huggins Hell – the most feared part of the Smoky Mountains due to its dark history. I have always been fascinated with the hidden, oddly named, rarely explored parts of the Smokies – Mellinger’s Death Ridge, anyone?

For 25-year-old David O'Sullivan, the Pacific Crest Trail was a dream. He spent a full year working in his home country of Ireland to save up enough funds to travel to Campo, on the Mexican border, and thru-hike all the way to Canada. This remote route is 2,650 miles, takes most people around 5 months to complete, and leads hikers through deserts, forests, and mountain peaks, with all types of weather. Tragically, some travelers, like O'Sullivan, never make it home.
