Approximately 975 miles between Lake Mead and Lake Powell, Hociota was short a few days hike from Lake Mead.

Picked this up from my brother.
Ioana Hociota, described as an experienced hiker, died just short of reaching her goal of hiking the length of the Grand Canyon from Lake Powell to Lake Mead. Her hiking partner’s description of the events following her mis-step is rather chilling.
Ooof! Oh that’s scary. One of my nightmares is The Fall…
I have those dreams every now and then. Very scary, indeed.
