GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, Ariz. (AP) — There has been another fatality at Grand Canyon National Park, authorities announced Monday.
Park officials said 59-year-old Patrick Horton of Salida, Colorado, was on the 10th day of a non-commercial river trip along the Colorado River and was discovered dead by members of his party Saturday morning.
