A Zion National Park hiker has died after a fall from the Angels Landing trail.
Fox 13 reports the man fell on the popular trail around 2 p.m. Friday, closing the West Rim trail, Scout Lookout and Angels Landing.
Search and rescue teams were called to locate the man and recover his body.
Monday, the National Park Service identified the man as 68-year-old Gilberto Ramos from Laredo, Texas. Officials say Ramos was hiking the chained section of the trail when he fell.
The park’s website states Angels Landing will be closed for previously scheduled trail maintenance through April 23. The West Rim trail remains open.
The West Rim and Angels Landing trails are among the most visited at the southern Utah park.
Angels Landing is consistently ranked as one of the most dangerous trails in the national park system with more than a dozen people having fallen from the trail since 2000. Records show 13 of those falls were fatal.
Hikers are required to obtain a permit before hiking Angels Landing to limit the number of hikers on the trail.
