Zum Thema "Gefahren beim Wandern in den Grand Canyon" gibt es leider wieder einen aktuellen Bericht, wobei ich anführen muß, daß die Ursachen der Tragödie noch nicht geklärt sind.

GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK - Human remains recovered from below the South Rim of the Grand Canyon last week have been identified as those of a Phoenix man missing for nearly a year, officials said.
Randy Rogers, 46, failed to check out of his campsite in Mather Campground on Sept. 11 as scheduled, two days after his arrival. An extensive air and ground search was launched, but was unsuccessful.
The remains were recovered last week after being spotted by a National Park Service backcountry ranger, said Maureen Oltrogee, a park spokeswoman. They were identified using dental records. A cause of death has not been determined, and the case is still being investigated by the National Park Service.
