9. The Cryptids of Our National Parks (USA)

Morbid Outdoors

Our national parks are beautiful and contain many beautiful sights: from flowing rivers to snow capped mountain peaks to orange desertscapes. But do they also hold much more sinister sights that only few see while visiting? These parks are ancient, dark, and deep. Is it possible that there once were or still are ancient creatures that reside in them? Tune in to hear about some of the cryptids of the U.S. National Parks.
We visit the following national parks in this episode:
Yosemite National Park
Crater Lake National Park
Voyageurs National Park
Grand Canyon National Park
Wind Cave National Park
Great Sand Dunes National Park
Glacier National Park
*Please forgive my pronunciations this episode, I tried my best!*
