Dec 9, 2015 at 15:09 comment added Erik @Mark I agree in general the further off the beaten path you are the fewer people you will see so the opportunity for crimes are less. Those danger ratings include accidents too. YNP has more than it's share of thrill seekers which bumped their numbers as well I'm sure.
Dec 9, 2015 at 2:50 comment added Mark The YNP numbers are almost certainly for the frontcountry area -- the Yosemite Valley sees thousands of visitors each day, with a population density comparable to a city. Get out into the backcountry, and I doubt it's any more dangerous than any other wild area.

Disclaimer on the age of the article added. Moved the danger rating info to a footnote.
Dec 7, 2015 at 22:35 comment added Erik @DavidRoberts Agreed. That is typically the safest approach (reporting the location and anything else to the authorities).
Dec 7, 2015 at 22:22 comment added 243DRob I'm glad you mentioned drugs. In the 80's and 90's, I often heard of illegal marijuana patches hidden in the woods, complete with traps and/or armed guards. Poachers make the news occasionally, too. From what I've heard, however, these sneaking thieves only get violent if you confront them. Just get their license plate number and report them.
