The King family wouldn't have lasted as long as they have in the remote, perilous Rockies if they didn't know a thing or two about survival.

The Indians claim it’s bad medicine and won't go near it. Of course, that doesn't stop Louisa King from cajoling her husband to go on a getaway up to the high country. But something terrible lives on that glacier....
