“Grapevine man was alone when he fell from Grand Canyon rim”

I just finished reading a book that chronicaled all the known deaths in the Grand Canyon. Lots of ways to die out there. People falling off the edge was probably the most interesting chapter to me.

I learned that the 2 highest risk factors for people on foot in the park is hiking alone and going off trail. Oddly, middle-aged men tend to do these things more often than any other age/gender group.
