The body of 29 year-old Jetal Agnihotri, of Tuscon, Ariz., was found in Zion National Park on Monday, Aug. 22, 2022, ending a four-day search and rescue mission that extended beyond the park's southern border. SALT LAKE CITY —
Her death was announced a day later after it was confirmed by medical examiners. It's the latest reminder of the dangers of hiking in the narrow red rock canyons in the southern Utah park during monsoon season. Agnihotri was hiking with friends through a well-known slot canyon called The Narrows when the group was swept downstream by flash floodwaters overtaking the Virgin River. While the rest of the group made it to safety, Agnihotri did not, prompting rangers to embark on a search mission that used swift water trained rescuers, search dogs, and more than 170 emergency responders, the National Park Service said.
Slot canyons in Zion National Park can be as narrow as windows and hundreds of feet deep in certain parts. They are among the destination’s most scenic and visited areas.
