A hiker died earlier this week after tripping and falling on the Highline Trail in Glacier National Park.

Park officials say that 73-year-old Diane Bunker of Muscatine, Iowa, died on Wednesday as a result of the 450-foot fall that happened between Big Bend and Triple Arches.

Staff were told at approximately 11 a.m. that a woman — identified as Bunker — was hiking with a large group when she tripped and fell off the edge of the trail, out of sight from her hiking party.
