Tragedy as girl, 17, slips and plunges 30 feet to her death during hike

A 17-year-old girl plunged 30ft to her death during a hiking trip after she lost her footing and fell.

Zoe McKinney was hiking with a group of friends in the Moab Rim Trail in Kane Creek Canyon, Utah, US, on Friday afternoon when she entered a steep area and “somehow slipped and fell”, according to the Moab Police Department.

The teen, who was without any hiking equipment, fell off the ledge and into a "deep, cliffy area" as officials struggled to reach her due to the 30ft fall.
