Two drownings claimed the lives of two men in two different areas of Glacier National Park Saturday.
A 26-year-old India man was hiking past the gorge on Avalanche Lake Trail when he went into Avalanche Creek around 8:30 a.m. on Saturday morning. Friends and witnesses saw him go into the creek, go underwater and resurface briefly before being swept away by the current and into the gorge.
Glacier National Park dispatch was alerted at 8:37 a.m. Park campground staff were on the scene almost immediately, followed by law enforcement rangers at about 9 a.m.
