GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK - A 59-year-old Arizona woman died while backpacking in the Grand Canyon, officials said. The Grand Canyon National Park Service says Delphine Martinez, a resident of Window Rock, was on a multi-day backpacking trip on Sept. 4 when she was found unconscious along the Thunder River Trail, about one mile from the confluence of Tapeats Creek and the Colorado River. "Trip members attempted resuscitation efforts without success," officials said. The Coconino County Medical Examiner will determine Martinez's cause of death.
