LACIER NATIONAL PARK IS FULL OF WONDER AND BEAUTY,
but full of danger as well. Since it was established in 1910, 297
people have tragically discovered how deadly it can be. With the
help of C.W. Guthrie and Dan and Jan Fagre's book Death
& Survival in Glacier National Park, we've collected the
nine ways to die in Glacier into five natural ways
and four man-made ways that visitors have met
their makers in beautiful and dangerous
Glacier National Park.
According to Death & Survival in Glacier
National Park,
here is a list of the top
ways people have met their maker in
the beautiful (and dangerous!) park:
