On average, three million people come to Colorado to visit Rocky Mountain National Park every year. Most return home safely, but some do not. Joseph R. Evans details the fates of the almost three-hundred people who met their demise in Rocky Mountain National Park between 1884 and 2009 in the hope that their mistakes might prove instructive to future park visitors. Also included are the stories of those who made it, whether by skill and determination or just sheer luck.
