A father, 52, and daughter, 23, from Green Bay, Wisconsin, were found dead Friday evening in Canyonlands National Park in southeast Utah after sending 911 texts for help, the San Juan County Sheriff’s Office said in a release on Monday.
The pair said they had gotten lost and run out of water while hiking the 8-mile Syncline Loop Trail, which the National Parks Service describes as the most challenging in the area and the site of most park rescues.
