The most dangerous National Park to visit in winter? It's not Glacier, Denali or the Grand Canyon, according to new survey

What is the most dangerous US National Park to visit in winter? Put this question to the average person and they might guess avalanche-prone Glacier, towering, windswept Denali or the treacherous Grand Canyon, which is the most dangerous in summer. However, a new survey reveals that the Grand Canyon is the only one of those three to even make the top 10 most dangerous parks in winter – and has named a quiet California park the most menacing.

According to new findings, Sequoia & Kings Canyon National Parks are the most dangerous National Park sites to visit during the winter. Located east of Fresno, Sequoia and Kings Canyon are two contiguous National Parks that are managed as one unit.
