Tragedy strikes at popular national park as climber meets fatal end on mountain
A rock climbing outing turned fatal for one National Park visitor after authorities say a fall resulted in his death. Officials with the National Park Service confirmed that Brian Astle, 42, of Provo, UT fell while descending a steep, off-trail climbing route from the west face of Mount Gould inside Glacier National Park on Wednesday. The accident happened just before 6 p.m. on July 9, when Glacier National Park Dispatch received a report of an individual who had fallen from Mount Gould above the Highline Trail. Park rangers worked with aerial search and rescue crews to locate Astle. However, the operation was postponed overnight to ensure Astle's body could be safely recovered. The following morning, park rangers located Astle's body and transported him to a nearby horse corral till he could be moved to the coroner's office. Officials said an investigation is ongoing, and there is no additional information available at this time. Mount Gould stands at 9,557 feet, making it the highest point along the Garden Wall in Glacier National Park, according to the National Park Service. "The park extends their deepest condolences to the family and asks the public to respect the family's privacy," park officials wrote in a news release. Back in August 2024, a missing climber was found dead after disappearing from his hiking party. The National Parks Service said Grant Marcuccio, 32, of Whitefish, Montana was found dead after suffering from "traumatic injuries" from an "apparent fall." Officials said "Marcuccio separated from his party to summit McPartland Peak alone and planned to rendezvous at a designated location" but "Rangers were alerted by the hiking party that Marcuccio never made it to the rendezvous spot." Glacier National Park is known for its "beautiful glacial lakes, waterfalls, valleys, and alpine meadows," FOX Weather reports, but it can also "experience quickly changing and extreme weather." "Be aware that mountain weather is unpredictable; always be prepared for a variety of conditions," the park's website states. Stepheny Price is a writer for Fox News Digital and Fox Business. She covers topics including missing persons, homicides, national crime cases, illegal immigration, and more. Story tips and ideas can be sent to

Tourists, residents evacuated from Grand Canyon due to wildfires
Fast-spreading wildfires have forced the evacuation of part of the Grand Canyon, with the US National Park Service ordering visitors and residents away from its northern rim. "Due to the advancing Dragon Bravo Fire within Grand Canyon National Park, all North Rim residents are now in 'GO' status and should evacuate the North Rim immediately," the National Park Service said in an X post on Friday afternoon. The Dragon Bravo Fire, which was sparked by lightning and has been burning since July 4, was 150 acres (61 hectares) in size Friday evening and zero percent contained, a US government incident report said. Park Service staff had already cleared the North Rim, which is less popular with tourists than the South Rim, of some 500 visitors late Thursday. Day-use access to the area was also closed due to a larger blaze called the White Sage Fire, which was burning outside the Grand Canyon National Park. However, it was approaching Jacob Lake, Arizona, a small settlement known as the gateway to the North Rim. About 10,973 acres (4,441 hectares) have been scorched by the White Sage Fire which is zero-percent contained, according to authorities, who released images of large columns of smoke rising above the scrubby desert. Jon Paxton, press officer for the Coconino County sheriff's office, told AFP that a hotel and some businesses had been emptied. "Most of the folks we evacuated were campers," he said. "This area is high desert and mostly open forest for camping." - Started by lightning - The White Sage Fire was also started by lightning, during a thunderstorm on July 9. "Crews encountered very extreme fire behavior due to the dry conditions (and) gusty and erratic winds inhibiting the ability for fire fighters to safely engage the fire," the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) said. One of the greatest wonders of the natural world, the Grand Canyon is the result of the Colorado River eating away at layers of red sandstone and other rock for millions of years, leaving a gash up to 18 miles (30 km) wide and more than a mile (1.6 km) deep. Park Service advised against any hiking into the canyon, due to extreme heat and wildfire smoke. A 67-year-old man died on Tuesday while attempting to reach the river in hot conditions. Last year almost five million people visited the world-famous site. Another popular site, Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park in Colorado, was also closed Friday because of a wildfire. rfo-bgs-ksb/aks
