An Arizona woman died over the weekend after getting caught in flash floods at Bryce Canyon National Park.
Three days before the start of regular classes, teacher Jeanne Howell set off for what she wrote in her planner as her “Adventure Weekend” in Bryce Canyon.
Each year, Howell had a goal to hike as many miles as the number of that year. For example, she hiked over 2,022 miles in 2022. Each year, she’d hit the mark with months to spare. For every outdoors accomplishment, Howell would take a picture flashing the “U” hand signal — an ode to the city she grew up in and where she met her husband.“Every three months she took a wilderness survival class. She had two different first aid kits with her,” he said.
A storm rolled in and Howell did not survive the flash floods. Search and rescue crews recovered her body early Saturday morning in Campbell Canyon, a mile east of the trail.
