The trailhead is not far from Yaki Point, where park officials had said Pennington's vehicle had been found abandoned.
Pennington was last known to be on the canyon's south rim near Yaki Point on Feb. 23, the park has said. When the search was announced, he was said to possibly be traveling on a yellow motorcycle. It was not immediately clear what occurred. The park service and Coconino County Medical Examiner are investigating.
The park service did not provide additional information, and a message left with a park spokeswoman was not immediately returned Thursday evening. Park service personnel found the body Wednesday, and it was flown by helicopter to the canyon rim, the park service said.
How did he bring a motorcycle down there? The paths are way too narrow and windey
