Man dies in fall at Zion National Park

A man fell to his death from a popular hiking trail in Zion National Park, the second fatality in the park this week, officials said.

Barry Goldstein, 53, of St. Louis, fell Friday afternoon while coming down the Angels Landing trail. Search and rescue crews found Goldstein's body several hundred feet from the trail, park spokesman David Eaker said.

Witnesses said Goldstein was near the edge of the cliff when he suddenly dropped off, plunging hundreds of feet. The hike is described as strenuous with steep trails.

Earlier this week, a California man who was rappelling in Heaps Canyon fell to his death.
