Death in Zion National Park: Stories of Accidents and Foolhardiness in Utah's Grand Circle - Paperback

by Randi Minetor (Author)

Morbid, but strangely fascinating accounts

In 2015, a group of seven hikers were killed when a sudden flood struck Keyhole Canyon in Zion National Park. Prior to that, the steep, narrow route to Angels Landing led to at least five fatalities. Numerous people have found that high, exposed places in Zion--such as rim trails--are bad places to be in lightning storms. Death in Zion National Park collects some of the most gripping accounts in park history of the unfortunate events caused by natural forces or human folly.
