The rim-to-rim trek covers a distance of about 24 miles and is described as a &#8220;strenuous&#8221; hike by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nationalparks.org\/connect\/blog\/grand-canyon-rim-rim-hike\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">National Park Foundation<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Smith, who was an &#8220;avid and experienced hiker,&#8221; according to the park service, was found unresponsive on North Kaibab Trail at around 4:45 p.m. last Thursday. The park service <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nps.gov\/places\/000\/north-kaibab-trail.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">describes<\/a> the trail as &#8220;the least visited and most difficult of the major inner canyon trails at Grand Canyon National Park.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bystanders and park service personnel attempted to resuscitate Smith, but he was pronounced dead at the scene. A cause of death was not shared.
