Of course, a big attraction for those visiting Montana is our National Parks. Montana has a total of 9 National Park Service areas, and they're responsible for bringing in hundreds of millions of dollars each year to the Montana economy.

However, two of those National Parks have just been named among the most dangerous in America. Before we reveal which of Montana's National Parks made the most dangerous list, check out these 7 National Parks just outside of Montana.

Which Montana National Parks made the most dangerous list?

According to the website National Park MD, the two Montana National Parks that were among the most dangerous happen to be the two most popular National Parks in the state.

Of course, we're talking about both Glacier and Yellowstone National Parks.

National Park MD ranked the Top 10 Most Dangerous National Parks in the country, and both Parks made the list, but which one is more dangerous? Is it Glacier or Yellowstone?

Glacier was ranked 7th out of 10 for most dangerous, with an average of 1 death per million visitors. Yellowstone was ranked just ahead at 6th with an average of 1.25 deaths per 1 million visitors. So, as you can see, you're odds are pretty good that a visit to either Glacier or Yellowstone will be safe. (Just remember not to pet the fluffy cows)

If you're wondering which National Park is the most dangerous in America, that honor would go to Denali National Park in Alaska, with an average of 6 deaths per one million visitors.
