One person died and two others were injured during a floating trip down the Colorado River inside Grand Canyon National Park, authorities said on Tuesday.
A commercial river trip requested aid at about 11 a.m. on Monday after it spotted a motorized raft overturned near the Kwagunt Rapid, which has a 12-foot drop and roughly a medium difficulty.
During the trip, a cold front moved in with strong wind and snow on the canyon s rim, preventing a rescue helicopter from responding immediately. Rescue crews in boats set out on Monday and reached the site of the accident Tuesday morning, Grand Canyon spokeswoman Kaitlyn Thomas wrote in a press release.
