That’s another appealing aspect of Gros Morne: the trails aren’t crowded with people. From what we heard from other hikers, places like Yellowstone and Banff are beautiful but often over-crowded. We barely saw a soul during our hikes at …

A couple weeks ago I posted an article about several tragic deaths that have occurred in Yellowstone this summer, including that of several bears that have been killed in or just outside of the park. Now comes word that two more bears have been found dead near Fishing Bridge in the east central section of Yellowstone National Park. One was a giant 576-pound grizzly, currently in Bozeman undergoing a necropsy to determine the cause of death. The other, a black bear, was probably hit and killed by a vehicle sometime Tuesday afternoon. A total of seven bears have now been killed this summer …

I don’t know if anyone has noticed, but it’s been a very deadly summer in Yellowstone and Grand Tetons National Parks this year – and it’s not even August yet. Check out these headlines so far: 7/28 A mother bear and her three sow cubs went on a rampage just before dawn on Wednesday morning and killed one man and injured two others in a campground just outside of Yellowstone. Terrified campers sought shelter in their cars. Here’s an interview with one of the victims on ABC News via Youtube . 7/27 A woman drowned after slipping into the Firehole River near Old Faithful. 7/21 One climber was killed and 16 others received moderate to severe injuries after a series of lightning strikes on the 13,770-foot Grand Teton. You can read more about the complex rescue operation by clicking here . 7/20 A University of Michigan student died after falling 80 feet after summiting the 12,804-foot Middle Teton 7/19 A 49-year-old woman from Utah was struck and flipped in the air by a bison in a thermal area near Old Faithful. Apparently the bison was provoked. Click here for the video of this incident that was shot by the victim. 7/14 A 65-year old man from Iowa died after losing his footing while fishing in the Yellowstone River. 6/17 A grizzly bear killed a veteran botanist in an attack just outside of Yellowstone. 6/1 A single lightning bolt injured 9 visitors on the boardwalk or on walkways around Old Faithful Geyser. 5/25 Two climbers died after the collapse of an ice column during an ice climb on a waterfall below the rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Humans weren’t the only victims this year. Several bears were killed as well. In two separate incidents in June, a female adult black bear and a young grizzly bear were both killed by hit and run cars. To add insult to injury, two separate accidents in two days claimed the lives of two bears during capture attempts by park biologist. One was a young grizzly and the other a young black bear .
