Going-to-the-Sun Road was constructed in the late 1920s and early 1930s, and is one of Glacier National Park’s most popular areas to visit, according to the National Park Service.
The victim was a seasoned outdoorsman who “had no problem being alone in the woods,” his father said. He was found with injuries “consistent with those sustained by a bear encounter,” the National Park Service said.
