The body of a woman reported lost on Sunday night was found today in Big Cottonwood Canyon in Utah. She apparently died after falling 80 to 100 feet off of a steep part of the trail.
The 19-year-old woman was hiking with a group when she stopped near Moss Ledge to take photos. She was shortly separated from the group. When the group returned to look for her, they were unable to locate the woman and they called authorities around 9 p.m.
Her body was found 10 a.m. Monday morning. Rescue teams are retrieving her body 2,000 feet above the canyon’s ground level.
