In 1976, a plane carrying three tonnes of marijuana crashed into a frozen lake deep inside Yosemite National Park.
When rangers discovered the wreck, they assumed the remote winter conditions would keep the cargo safe until spring.
They underestimated Yosemite’s climbers.
Young, broke and looking for adventure, climbers from Camp 4 made the brutal journey into the mountains, broke through the ice and began hauling out bales of weed.
What happened next became one of Yosemite’s wildest legends.
Fifty years later, HIGH GROUND brings together the climbers, rangers, federal agents and families who actually lived it to tell the story of the crash, the drugs, the rumours and what really happened.
Watch the official trailer now.
Coming soon to cinemas.
Visit the link in our bio to discover the full story, see upcoming screenings and follow the film as we take High Ground to audiences.

In 1977, a drug-smuggling plane crashed into a frozen lake high in Yosemite, leaving literally tons of marijuana scattered across the mountains. Nearly fifty years later, surviving climbers, rangers and families revisit a story of sudden wealth, betrayal, grief and a mystery that was never fully resolved.

Yosemite's hotels, restaurants and seasonal jobs created another network running through the Valley. Workers heard rumours, knew climbers and watched people come and go. In a place this small, who do you think heard the plane story first? #HighGroundFilm #Yosemite #Camp4 #YosemiteHistory #1970s
