ZION NATIONAL PARK, Utah — A hiker was found dead in Zion National Park early Sunday after he is believed to have fallen on one of the park's most popular trails.
Park officials received a call just after 7 a.m. reporting a hiker who had fallen on the Canyon Overlook Trail.
When crews with Hurricane Valley Fire and Rescue arrived approximately 30 minutes later, they found the man dead on the trail.
No other details, including the man's identity or how he fell, were released.
Canyon Overlook Trail is a popular mile-long trail in the park, described by the National Park Service as a path "that begins with a series of sandstone steps with a metal handrail leading visitors over rocky terrain above a dark slot canyon."
Detectives with the Washington County Sheriff’s Office are currently conducting an investigation.
