Tragic Toll of Temptation: Can We Learn from the Banff Mountains' Deadly Grip? A 20 year old woman died Tuesday near Marvel Peak, the second hiker to fall victim to the park's treacherous terrain in under a week.
The previous fatality was a 65 year old Calgary man who fell from Mount Temple over the weekend.
Parks Canada and emergency services have been praised for their response efforts, but questions remain about what drives these recurring tragedies. Is it simply coincidence or are there deeper factors at play?
