MISSOULA, Mont. — On Monday, a Flathead woman caught video of tourists in Glacier National Park hitting golf balls off Going-to-the-Sun Road.

Misty Morrow told us road construction caused a delay on Going-To-The-Sun Road. ... That is when visitors took out their golf clubs and began to hit balls over the edge.

Many viewers are have commented on our Facebook post that the offenders should face fines, be banned for life or covered with honey to spend a night with the bears.

We reached out to Glacier National Park for a statement, and they said the incident is under investigation. Officials will not comment further until Monday.

This is just another incident of people behaving poorly in national parks.


Here's some of the top cases in the last year:

• In August 2018, a man was caught on camera taunting a bison in Yellowstone.
• In September, another man was accused of urinating in Old Faithful.
• Just a few months ago, a man got off the Yellowstone boardwalk and walked across the Grand Prismatic Spring.

So far this year, calls to law enforcement are up 40 percent over 2018 in Glacier National Park.
