A 56-year-old Wisconsin man died while hiking in Grand Canyon National Park, park officials announced Tuesday. The National Park Service said in a news release that he was found on the Bright Angel Trail – one of the most popular hiking trails into the Grand Canyon because of its views – below Havasupai Gardens, near Flagstaff, Arizona last Friday. The NPS said their search and rescue personnel pronounced him dead. Authorities said the man, whose name was not released, was from Pewaukee, Wisconsin and was attempting a day hike to the Colorado River and back.
