Three Others In Hospital

Searchers recover second body after rockfall near Banff National Park hiking trail

Jun 20, 2025 | 11:14 AM

One of the two people killed in a rockfall in Banff National Park has been identified as 70-year-old Jutta Hinrichs of Calgary.

The University of Alberta, in a statement, says Hinrichs was an educator in the department of occupational therapy in the Faculty of Rehabilitation Medicine.

She retired last summer.

Her body was found shortly after a slab of mountain suddenly gave way Thursday afternoon, collapsing on hikers at a popular trail near Bow Glacier Falls, about 200 kilometres northwest of Calgary.

Crews have since recovered one more body, while three people have gone to hospital and are listed in stable condition.
