Mount Rainier National Park is a beautiful but sometimes deadly place. Nearly two million people visit each year, and most live to tell the tale. But if they don't travel safely-or if they're unlucky-they may find themselves victims of a climbing accident high on the mountain, lost and alone in the deep woods, or battling for survival in a sudden blizzard on the Muir Snowfield, known as one of America's most dangerous hikes. Death in Mount Rainier National Park tells the stories of more than four hundred visitors who've perished in the park over its long history, illuminating both what went wrong and ways to get it right.
