2025/10/08

Silver Plume, Colorado—a sleepy, semi-ghost town nestled in the Rockies, once a mining hub, now a place people visit to disappear...or vanish. In the summer of 1988, a seasoned sportswriter took a sabbatical and moved here with dreams of writing a novel and rediscovering himself. He rented a little antique shop in the same building where the previous owner had mysteriously disappeared a year earlier. While on a hike, he vanished too, just like the previous owner. This is one of Colorado’s mos...

Olympic National Park is one of the wildest, wettest places in the United States. Towering trees, moss-draped trails, and a rainforest that breathes with mist and silence.
