[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3754028, member: 5412"] That's why we did the South and West Rim in Febuary. The North rim was about a foot deep in snow. We had a perfect day with temps in the high 60's and zero wind. Absolutely beautiful day. We walked many miles and took lots of phone pics. I've read that 60 people have died by falls from the edge by various reasons. We saw people doing absolutely stupid stunts right on the edge of cliffs like standing on their head a foot away or sitting with legs hanging over. Guy in the second pic was doing the head stand on the lower lip from where he was standing. Fourth pic is of a california condor in flight. [HEADING=2]Falls from the Ledge (60)[/HEADING] Most people who ask “how many people have died in the Grand Canyon?” are actually asking “how many people have died by falling from the ledge of the canyon?” The answer is about 65 (including recent years). People have fallen from the ledge while [LIST] [*]taking selfies [*]horsing around [*]being drunk [*]urinating into the canyon [*]standing up from having just sat on the edge of the canyon (dizziness seems to be the main cause here).
