A 4-year-old girl on a vacation trip to the Grand Canyon died Tuesday after slipping off the canyon edge and falling several hundred feet.
The girl fell near Mather Point just before noon and her father immediately scrambled down the cliffs to reach her, National Park Service spokeswoman Maureen Oltrogge said.
He started CPR, and a Park Service ranger who rappelled down into the canyon also began trying to resuscitate the little girl.
A second ranger was lowered to the site by helicopter and determined the child was dead.
