VIDEO: A Cedar City man is in extremely critical condition after suffering significant head injuries when he fell more than 20 feet Thursday while hiking in a deep canyon within the Virgin River Gorge basin in Mohave County, Arizona. Shortly before 10 a.m. emergency dispatch received a call reporting that a 62-year-old hiker had fallen off the side of a steep cliff after he grabbed onto a boulder that came loose and slipped out from under him. Both the hiker and the rock fell more than 20 feet to the ground below. The hiker lost consciousness and appeared to have suffered a traumatic head injury. Beaver Dam-Littlefield Fire Chief Jeff Hunt told St. George News the hiker and a friend had traveled from their homes in Cedar City to spend the day hiking in Portal Canyon when the accident took place.
