SAR in our national parks

Grab your bear can or camp chair, kick your feet up and chew the fat about anything Sierra Nevada related that doesn't quite fit in any of the other forums. Within reason, (and the HST rules and guidelines) this is also an anything goes forum. Tell stories, discuss wilderness issues, music, or whatever else the High Sierra stirs up in your mind.

SAR in our national parks

Post by balzaccom »

Which parks get SAR calls the most often? Want to guess? We guessed three of the top five...but not the other two:

So which parks have called on SAR teams the most over the past two years?

Once you're done guessing, here is a link: https://www.backpackthesierra.com/post/ ... rous-parks

Without giving away too much info, I read a book about rangers in the #1 park on the list, so I knew the answer right off the bat. I thought the book was good, but I don't remember the name. I'm sure you can find it with a little searching.

You may be thinking of the book Over the Edge...

There's also a book out there called "Death in Yosemite" that's disturbingly about the same size as "War and Peace".
