I almost made it through the screening process to become a park district emergency dispatch operator, so I got to do a sit-along one day with them. They told that it's quite common for people to commit suicide in parks, so they get a lot of calls of bodies being found. So, that will happen even in areas that aren't dangerous to hike alone in. Kinda ruined going on hikes for me.....I still do it, because nature is amazing, but I'm always thinking about that now.
