According to park officials, Melanie Goodine, a 41-year-old from Ottawa, received CPR from bystanders Thursday before becoming unresponsive. Goodine had hiked to the Colorado River early in the day and was on her way out of the canyon. The Grand Canyon Regional Communications Center got a report of a “hiker in distress” on the Bright Angel Trail, above Three-Mile Resthouse, around 5:50 p.m.
“National Park Service (NPS) search and rescue personnel responded and assisted with resuscitation efforts,” the agency said in the release. “All attempts to resuscitate the individual were unsuccessful.”
The park service describes Bright Angel Trail as the “most popular trail in the park” with a “fairly easy” descent. “This can be a blessing or a curse,” the agency’s website says. “Wide views of the inner canyon and distant formations often distract hikers from just how far down the trail they’ve walked. The return hike back up and out of the canyon is far more difficult and requires much more effort.”
