On August 26, 1930, four men, including 18-year-old Donald Downs were injured during construction of the pass. A boulder let loose during blasting of the trail crushed Mr. Downs' arm. The men were evacuated by stretcher, Downs to Baxter Cabin and the others to Independence. Mr. Down’s arm was amputated. He died on Sept. 2, 1930 from complications of surgery. A plane crashed at Tyndall Creek after dropping medicine for Downs. A plaque commemorating his death is found on the southern side of the pass, most easily seen while walking in a northerly direction.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=77byX--cfRwC&pg=PA107&lpg=PA107&ots=UOQM24H3hO&dq=worker+death+forester+pass&output=html_text from the book ''Death, Daring, and Disaster: Search and Rescue in the National Parks'' by Charles R.
