A Fatal Lightning Strike and the Jenny Lake Rangers - Grand Teton National Park

Check the weather before you head out on this adventure and leave any metal objects at home. In this episode we head to Grand Teton National Park and follow the journey of a group of climbers from Idaho who head out to summit the Grand Teton. When a lightning bolt hits 6 climbers at once, their only chance of survival are the Jenny Lake Rangers, the most elite group of rescue climbers in the entire United States National Park system. Come follow along with their journey, based from the book and true story, A Bolt from the Blue by Jennifer Woodlief.

We love our National Parks and we know you do too but when you're out there, remember to enjoy the view but watch your back.
