Adventures in the wilderness can be dramatic and deadly. Glacier National Park's death records date back to January 1913, when a man froze to death while snowshoeing between Cut Bank and St. Mary.

All told, 260 people have died or are presumed to have died in the park during the first hundred years of its existence. One man fell into a crevasse on East Gunsight Peak while skiing its steep north face, and another died while moonlight biking on the Sun Road. A man left his wife and five children at the Apgar picnic area and disappeared on Lake McDonald. His boat was found halfway up the west shore wedged between rocks with the propeller stuck in gravel.

Collected here are some of the most gripping accounts in park history of these unfortunate events caused by natural forces or human folly.

It was interesting and heartbreaking to hear about the different deaths in Glacier National Park. This did read like a Wikipedia article or newspaper article. Just the facts. It did make me more mindful to respect nature and to listen to the experts when they give warnings.

The stories were interesting, well written, and nicely concise. I especially appreciate the, “how not to end up in a later edition of this book” information, which translates to outdoor and wilderness activities in general.
I agree with others that the narrative style did not fit the material. IMO, way too cheerful! But the reader might be okay for other books.

Good book, so-so narration

This was a good book in the lineup of ‘Death in ….’ National Park. It was well narrated, and carried along facts, information and education.

I couldn’t listen to the narration. The roller coaster of her sentences was killing me. So I bought a paperback and read that.

Great book, terrible narration

This book was a fascinating account of deaths and other strange mishaps in Glacier National Park. Statistically, it has fewer deaths than many other National parks, but that does not account for the many dangerous situation that can arise. Even individuals with experience are not immune and can run into trouble. This book is a cautionary tale of the many who did not make it out alive. Life saving tips are provided as well as how to enjoy the park safely. A thrilling adventure l found hard to put down. The audio version perfectly accompanies the book, with excellent narration.

I enjoyed the story and accounts detailed in the book. I found the narrator to be drab and monotone. Her voice did not fit the theme of the book.

Great Book. Not good narration.

I waited a little to review this to be sure I was being fair. I don’t typically read nonfiction so I feel like it is harder for me to review it fairly, especially when this book tells the stories of those that lost their lives while in Glacier NP. I felt like more stories could have been told in more detail, however, I think if you enjoy spending time in the outdoors you’ll like this book. It reminds you that enjoying time outside comes with risks, and that given the wrong set of circumstances we could all meet our end while doing something we enjoy.

Also, I enjoy the narrators of most stories but I had a really hard time with this one. They didn’t do anything wrong just wasn’t for me.

A Reminder if the risks of enjoying time outside
