On Friday afternoon (July 12), San Juan County Dispatch received a 911 text from a person at the Island in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park, park rangers confirmed.

Both the National Park Service rangers and the Bureau of Land Management Moab District Helitack personnel responded to the information and a search operation was launched.

But when the dad and daughter were finally located they had already passed away.

A spokesperson for the National Park Service added: “While temperatures remain high this summer, park visitors are advised to carry and drink plenty of water and avoid strenuous activity during midday heat.”

It comes ten days after a young boy died after going hiking with his family in Arizona.
