Glacier Point Victim First Fatality of Season

Looks like there’s already been the first fatality of the season in Yosemite, this one not water related. Here’s the low-down from Tom over at Yosemite Explorer.

Yosemite Explorer: I have few details on this one, but today, May 26, 2006, a visitor fell to the death off Glacier Point. The best information I could was that the victim dropped a camera, stepped outside the rail to retrieve it and slipped. This tragic accident is the season’s first reminder that the park can be a dangerous place. Last season there were five deaths from people being swept away in fast-running water on the Mist Trail and the Yosemite Falls Trail.
