What a terrible story.

Not exactly what we think of when tring to get kids out on the trail.

I hope they are not turned off from hiking forever.

45 year old grandfather of a 12 year old kid. If you do the math, it adds up to the behavior.

There are inconsistencies in the account. It claimed the grand father tried to avoid rangers. The Bright Angel Trail is the most popular trail to the bottom of the canyon with a campground in the middle. Not exactly the trail someone would use to avoid contact with rangers.
