America's most popular national parks

The United States is home to 63 stunning national parks. Here's a look at some of the most visited.

If you visited a national park last year, you’d be among the hundreds of millions of people across the U.S. who ventured outdoors to capture breathtaking views or enjoy recreational activities such as hiking or skiing.

And while the serene landscapes of our national parks feature a plethora of mountainous landscapes, pristine beaches and lush forests, there are some deadly risks associated with visiting.

Recently, outdoor clothing brand KÜHL looked at different criteria and came up with a list of the top 10 deadliest national parks.

The company said it looked into data associated with the total number of deaths, missing people, search and rescue missions, the presence of park rangers, the proximity to hospitals, trail alerts and visitor data to come up with the list.

KÜHL said some of the factors that made the national parks rank higher on the list were due to the higher number of deaths and search and rescue missions or hospital inaccessibility.

Here are the top 10 deadliest national parks according to KÜHL.
