A California woman fell to her death while hiking on the west side of Teewinot Mountain in Grand Teton National Park on Friday.
The National Park Service said Joy Cho of Simi Valley was hiking with seven other people when she fell. Cho was pronounced dead at the scene.
Her body was "short-hauled" from the site of the accident and turned over to the Teton County Coroner’s Office.
Her companions were later transported back to their vehicles by the Park Service.
Hikers consider Teewinot, which reaches 12,325 feet above sea level, to be the most deadly peak in Grand Teton National Park. Only Mount Owen has had more climbing incidents, according to a report from the University of Wyoming.
Authorities have not released information on Cho’s age or what caused the fall.
