The Missing Children of Yosemite National Park
Baffling disappearances in paradise
Hundreds of people go missing at national parks across the United States every year. Some of these disappearances are never solved.
Yosemite National Park holds the notorious position as the national park with the third most missing persons per year (233). Lake Mead National Recreation Area wins the top spot with 563.
The deeper you dig into Yosemite National Park, the stranger details you find.
Like many national parks, Yosemite has a history of bizarre sightings, experiences, and legends. One of the most fascinating (and disturbing) of these stories is about hundreds of missing children.
Yes, hundreds.
The almost supernatural circumstances surrounding the disappearances make this one of the most unexplained and peculiar sagas in the history of a revered national park.
This is the story of the missing children.
