'With the pandemic, there are a lot of people who are rushing to get outside. They may not necessarily be prepared, and we help make sure that you get educated and prepared.”
article titled “Warning: The Deadliest National Parks In America” cited a study where Washington’s North Cascades National Park was crowned “the top park where you are most likely to suffer a fatal accident.” Lots of other news sources and websites picked up the story, but, it turns out, the data crunched by the personal injury law firm that commissioned the study doesn’t show the full picture.
The study analyzed National Park Service data between 2007 and 2018 and reported that North Cascades National Park averages 652 deaths per 10 million visitors, more than any other park. But Striker says the national park itself is much smaller than what most visitors might imagine. Technically, the most popular hikes, heavily trafficked places like Chelan and Diablo Lake and all of the campgrounds, aren’t in the national park itself.
“Most of North Cascades National Park is actually designated wilderness, and that means you don’t have a lot of manmade infrastructure to make your life easier,” said Striker. “Typically, that means there’s not a lot of other people around to help you out when you get in trouble. We have no cell coverage. Even our radio systems have a lot of dead spots. Relying on your modern technology to bail you out when you get in trouble is not the best insurance plan in a place like the North Cascades.
