The thing that impressed me most about visiting GC is that there are miles of canyon with NO fences, signs, or whatever.
Any idiot can walk right up and fall over the side.
God bless America.

You can't see what the South Rim of the canyon exactly looks like when you're on the South Rim, so you just gotta get off the trail and sidle over to the hairy edge...
or you could just look across at the North Rim and realize that the South Rim probably looks pretty much the same.

Prolly da Covid did him in.

The Grand Canyon is 277 miles long. No country is wealthy enough to keep idiots from killing themselves on the earth’s natural features.

I nearly fell in, due to ice.
Who would have thought there would be ice at a trailhead?

Was his body found beside a selfie stick?

That is true but I like the North rim better. It’s less busy and the restaurant food there is better. We took the train ride when we visited South rim but had a squirter gun fight on 4th of July one year on the North rim. The park rangers doused everyone with firehoses.

I crawled up an ice covered Bright Angel Trail in the dark, 35 years ago when a 2 hour, 9 mile stroll to the phantom ranch turned into a 10 hour stuggle for life against the forces of gravity & Nature.
I’ll admit I was a complete idiot, but even with the pitch black and Ice, at no time was I in any danger of falling to my death.
Of course this was before the “selfie”.

The North Rim is higher in elevation (about 1000 ft) than the South Rim.

A couple of decades ago, my grandparents drove from NC to the Grand Canyon.
They stayed about 10 minutes and lost interest.

This is usually about when the bad stuff happens.

Clark Griswold had the right idea. Take a quick look safely away from the edge and get the heck out of there. Make sure you stop at the gift shop on the way out.
