Uinta Triangle

Dead Horse Pass, 1923

Eric Robinson took his final photographs at the base of Dead Horse Pass on the Uinta Highline Trail. The name "Dead Horse" is literal: the rocks below the pass are littered with the bones of perished pack animals. But who first coined the name? Uinta Triangle host Dave Cawley suggests it came from a pioneer painter named George Beard, who was one of the first people to carry a camera into the heart of the High Uintas.

Objective Hazards

Every step in the backcountry brings risk. Some risks can be anticipated, avoided or mitigated. Others are inherent to the experience of adventuring outdoors. Hiker and mountaineer Art Lang joins Uinta Triangle host Dave Cawley for an outing to the High Uintas, where they discuss the "objective hazards" Eric Robinson faced during his Uinta Highline Trail crossing. Art imparts his perspective and wisdom about the best way to build experience and knowledge, so you can adventure safely.

Bones in the Backcountry

Cases of missing people are sometimes solved by the random discovery of bones in the backcountry. Hunters and hikers stumble across human remains in the most unexpected of places. Utah Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Deirde Amaro and Chief Medical Examiner Investigatigator Dr. Cory Russo share advice for what to do if you ever discover human bones far from civilization.

Groundskeeper Eric

Eric Robinson's disappearance left a void in the lives of the people who loved him, most notably his wife, Marilyn Koolstra. Uinta Triangle host Dave Cawley joins Marilyn in a visit to Valkstone Primary School, where Eric worked as a groundskeeper during his retirement, to reflect on his life and legacy.

In this bonus episode, Dave revisits the case years later to learn what Benjamin's parents experienced behind the scenes of the search.
