Looks like this will be another overloaded 172 mishap.
Guy went down in American Fork Canyon. I have not flown in this canyon as it’s too narrow for my tastes. There is no room to 180 out I don’t think.
Hot and gusty today. Terrain is around 7000-7500 at the canyon floor where he went down...
Here is the news article.
Notice where they ended up:
And here is an approach and landing into Hidden Splendor (skip to 1:40):
Absolutely beautiful terrain.
The weather was too good to pass up (usually I just nap after work). Went up for an hour something, flying into the sunset over KSLC looking over the Great Salt Lake. Screen grab from my GoPro.
