A California teacher died in a hiking accident on a steep and difficult mountain trail near Sedona, Arizona, this week, authorities said. The Yavapai County Sheriff's Office identified the woman as Zaynab Joseph, 40, of California, who it said was staying with her family at an Airbnb in Sedona. Joseph was hiking with her husband and 1-year-old child on Bear Mountain, about 9 miles west of Sedona, when she fell on Monday morning, the sheriff’s office said in a statement.
'The husband and child were flown off the mountain, and the victim was recovered,' the sheriff's office said. The incident was under investigation, it said. Witnesses were being sought. The area is in Coconino National Forest, about 116 miles north of Phoenix. The U.S. Forest Service describes a trail to the top of Bear Mountain as challenging and too steep for horses.
