Two hikers die in 5 days at Zion National Park and rangers still don’t know why the canyon’s most popular trails are suddenly killing people

Two hikers have died within five days at Zion National Park, leaving rangers scrambling for answers about why two of the park’s most popular trails are suddenly claiming lives. The deaths, one on the infamous Angels Landing Trail and another in Spry Canyon, have reignited concerns about safety in a park already known for its deadly drop-offs and technical challenges.

According to Fox News, the first tragedy struck on April 17, when 68-year-old Gilberto Ramos of Laredo, Texas, fell to his death while hiking Angels Landing. The National Park Service confirmed that rangers and local law enforcement responded after visitors reported the incident.
