A visitor nearly fell to her death while taking photos at the Grand Canyon after she stepped backward without looking. The young woman was taking pictures of a friend when she moved back to get a better shot and stepped off the rim.
A video shot by another park visitor was shared via Instagram account TouronsOfNationalParks this week, and shows that the woman was lucky to keep her balance after accidentally putting her foot down on a narrow ledge. It comes as a timely reminder to take care during the popular spring hiking season in Arizona.
