Logan • Authorities say a 77-year-old man died Saturday after taking a fall while hiking and picking up trash in a canyon in the Franklin Basin area.
The Cache County Sheriff’s Office said Calvin Kunz was picking up trash left behind by other hikers when he tried to cross a river. He passed some of the trash to another person while crossing and lost his balance, falling back on his head.
The sheriff’s office says Kunz never regained consciousness.
