    They found her yesterday. Alive.

I was completely shocked by this story. I was in Utah when the story first ran about her being found, but there were ZERO details. I don't know how well you know Zion, but it ain't that big compared to how many people visit. And according to that article, "authorities found Courtier "in a thickly vegetated area along the Virgin River." That's like... the main corridor of traffic. It's not even a mile across that canyon. It makes more sense now that I know she bonked her head pretty hard and was more or less just laying there disoriented. I was having a hard time imagining someone getting lost in the main section of Zion. Regardless, I'm super stoked she made it out alive.
