DINOSAUR, Colo. (AP) — A 66-year-old Colorado man has died kayaking on a river in Dinosaur National Monument.
National Park Service spokeswoman Sonya Popelka says the man drowned on Saturday after hitting a rock in the TePee Rapid of Yampa River.
The man’s partner paddled 24 miles (39 kilometers) downriver from the rapid to Hells Canyon Ranch and alerted authorities.
A helicopter found the man’s body about 3 miles (5 kilometers) downriver from the rapid.
