The Deadly Dangers of Glacier Park

Join Rebecca, Heather and Lora where Heather discusses the deadliest U.S. national parks, then focuses on Glacier National Park's history of fatal accidents, unsolved disappearances (like the 1969 Mount Cleveland avalanche and 1924 Whitehead brothers case), and bear/mountain lion attacks. With closing reassurances from the Three Sisters that hiking is safe if you're prepared.
