Officials say a woman has died after she fell during a hike in Sedona, Arizona earlier this week.
Yavapai County Sheriff’s Office said they got a call Monday morning about a woman who had fallen off a 140-foot cliff on Bear Mountain. The woman was hiking with her 1-year-old child and her husband.
Other hikers in the area stopped after hearing yelling and found that the woman had been seriously injured, the sheriff’s office said. One of them called for help while another hiked down to the woman. The woman was still breathing when the hiker got to her, but she later died.
The sheriff’s office identified the woman as Zynad Joseph, 40, according to KNXV.
Authorities said the woman was visiting from California and was renting an Airbnb in the area at the time of the incident, KTVK reported.
Joseph’s husband and child were flown off the trail, KNXV reported. Both were not injured.
It’s funny the first time you take an Easterner out back in the West and they notice that not every change of elevation has a guard rail.
In rattlesnake country.
I once thought I was a goner when I wandered into the road in a flat out blizzard and a snowplow, with flashing yellow lights, beared upon me. The lights saved me as I was listening through my headphones the live album by George Thorogood & The Destroyers and did not hear the snowplow approaching.
Tell me how it was when/if you get back. I’ll be in the bar.😎
“Sedona is chock full of a-hole tourists.”
It’s long been a magnet for California psychopaths for the sweat lodges, drum circles, vortexes etc.
I once asked a park ranger at the Grand Canyon how many people a year fell. He said about a dozen, almost all teenaged boys.
“No it’s not.”
Yes it is.
I enjoy the back and forth. I can contribute nothing but my late wife was an English and LIT teacher and I know she would have enjoyed the discussion. Diagram a sentence—all in her wheelhouse.
I heard that!
Fear of heights hit me about 10 years ago. Walking out on my balcony I never lean on the railing.😂
“No, neither is almost always singular.”
Thanks for showing the plural use of neither which is exactly the use I posted.
I love diagramming. It’s what I can do instead of higher math.
Yeah...Angel’s Landing...they probably have so many that it is not remarkable (my hub did part of it some years ago)
Another one to avoid with small children is Tent Rocks in NM.
At the very end of the trail you end up atop a small area that slopes towards a pretty sheer drop on every side, and it’s covered in loose gravel so it’s treacherous.
No guardrails on the Moki Dugway, either. It’s a white knuckler of a drive.
Is it “Falling Off Of Cliffs” season already?
It seems like only yesterday it was still “Falling Into Crevasses” season.
C’mon! Grammar is so last century.
Same here!
Fat chance.
Hold Ma BEER!
Nothing wong — oops!
