Not Good
A Salt Lake City couple is missing in the Grand Canyon.
A Salt Lake City couple vacationing at Grand Canyon National Park are missing after apparently trying to backpack a difficult 45-mile trail loop in a remote western area of the park.
Alan P. Humphrey, 39, and his wife, Iris Faraklas, 35, were reported missing Sunday when they did not arrive in Prescott, Ariz., as scheduled, on Saturday.
The pair, who are considered experienced backpackers, were issued a backcountry permit on May 17 for the Royal Arch route. The loop is in the far western portion of the Grand Canyon. The permit expired Friday.

Lets hope they make it out well.
Update: They have been found alive. Dehydrated but safe.
