Glacier Park Worker Stable After Fall

By Beacon Staff

Officials with Glacier National Park say an employee who was seriously injured in a 200-foot slide and fall earlier this week is in stable condition at a Montana hospital and making strides toward recovery.

Thirty-one-year-old Morgan Bell was with a five-member team working to clear sections of the park’s popular Highline Trail, which hasn’t been opened yet this year because of snow hazards.

Glacier Park spokeswoman Denise Germann says Bell was returning to the trailhead Tuesday afternoon when she slipped on a snowbank and slid about 200 feet before falling 12 feet to the Going-to-the-Sun Road.

She was taken by air ambulance to the intensive care unit at Kalispell Regional Medical Center, where she was listed in stable condition Friday evening.
