Two individuals tragically lost their lives while embarking on separate hiking adventures within Banff National Park, according to Alberta's Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
The first victim was a 24-year-old man whose disappearance was reported by his family on Wednesday. A Parks Canada crew discovered him deceased the same day near Recondite Peak in the national park. The deceased was a former hiking guide who was not on-duty at the time of his demise and was found equipped with climbing gear and a helmet.
On Saturday, a 33-year-old man from Calgary was found deceased near Beehive Mountain. He was hiking with friends when he was later separated from them. The RCMP commander of the Lake Louise detachment, Sgt. Susan Richter, confirmed these details.
