Sad

A young hiker fell to his death in Utah.

A teenager lost his life on Sunday after falling during a hike in Coconino County.

Kanab, Utah resident Todd J. Rowley, 17, was in the Kanab Creek Wilderness trailhead with six other people having a Memorial Day weekend picnic.

Witnesses told officials that Rowley and an adult friend were on the south side of Snake Gulch when they attempted to climb down to reach a cave that was located on the side of a steep cliff.

Rowley then lost his footing and fell approximately 200 feet.

My condolences to his friends and family.
