Turtle Mountain is the site of Canada’s deadliest rockslide called the Frank Slide, which occurred in 1903 and killed over 70 people.  At approximately 4 am on April 29, 1903, 30 million cubic metres (90 million tonnes) of rock travelled down into the valley bottom, burying part of the town of Frank, a mining town built at the toe.
