Its main economy is tourism, due to the proximity of an access point to the Appalachian Trail. The most recent census puts the population at just over 1,000 permanent residents. Six visitors have gone missing in the last twenty-five years. As a result, some have called it the most dangerous town in the state. Here's what the people of Cutter’s Pass want you to know: It’s a picturesque valley, named almost a century earlier for a path through the nearby mountains, which had proven historically difficult in the winter. Yes, they’ve had a string of bad luck with the missing visitors, but there’s nothing particularly dangerous about the area now. The disappearances are just coincidence. Statistics, even. Twenty-five years, just a few incidents. It's easy to believe, if you want. It's just as easy to disbelieve. But whichever person you are, believer or disbeliever, Cutter's Pass welcomes you equally.
