Two Florida hikers died this week in a fall from a Utah cliff, according to ABC4.com.

The Garfield County sheriff said the hikers, a man and woman whose names and ages were not released, were hiking a section of Bryce Canyon known as Inspiration Point late Monday or early Tuesday and crossed over a guardrail, walking off the trail.

Sheriff’s officials said the hikers fell from the cliff face, plunging 380 feet to the canyon floor.

Tourists later located the hikers’ bodies, ABC4 reported.

Foul play is not suspected.

The hikers were last known to be residents of Florida and had been living in a U-Haul near the park, the sheriff told ABC4.com.
