ESTES PARK, Colo. — A 21-year-old woman died after she fell into Adams Falls in Rocky Mountain National Park on Thursday, officials with the park said.
Officials did not release full details on the incident but said the woman fell into Adams Falls and her body was recovered on Thursday night.
The name of the woman has not been released but officials said she was 21-years-old and from Virginia, Illinois.
Grand County Sheriff’s Office, Grand County EMS, Grand County Search and Rescue, and Grand Lake Fire helped with the rescue. When the woman's body was recovered it was transferred to the Grand County Coroner. Once her next of kin has been notified, the coroner's office will release her name.
After the incident, officials are reminding guests who visit the park to stay far away from the banks of streams, rivers and waterfalls. Rocks at the streamside are often slippery and cause someone to fall. Guests with children are also asked to keep a close eye on their children, especially by water.
