In 1991, there were 71 and in 1995, there were 96. On the average, two or three deaths are caused every year because people were not wise as they climbed mountain trails. When you visit our mountain parks, remember these seven basic rules. If you have any doubt at all as to whether you should climb a trail or mountain, DON'T. The climb up can be difficult but the climb down is always more difficult. Be sure to wear proper footwear.
Twisted ankles are the most common injury on mountain trails.
During the summer, the sun is a major factor. Wear a hat or sun visor and be sure to have plenty of water with you. Stay on the trail. This is where most people get in trouble. First, the trail is the safest place to be.
