The hiker was the second known to be killed while trying to make it to the bus.
Veranika Nikanava was killed while trying to cross the Teklanika River near Denali National Park. She and Piotr Markielau, who were recently married, were hiking to the site of Fairbanks City Transit System Bus 142, called the “Magic Bus,” an abandoned vehicle that’s been parked for decades on Alaska’s Stampede Trail.
After the release of the book, the bus became a tourist destination for hikers intent on crossing the treacherous Teklanika to see it.Nikanava was swept away by the fast-moving river, and her body was discovered by her husband about 30 yards away.popular destination“I spoke to people who said they felt like the bus was a sacred place,” Holland said. “They felt like it had a special kind of magical aura about it.
“Alaska commits to rescuing people in their wilderness, but they get frustrated when people are careless or unprepared,” Holland said.”I think that there are probably better ways to sort of honor the spirit of Chris McCandless.”
