A Florida man died Tuesday after he fell up to 70 feet down a steep cliff in Crater Lake National Park.
The 20-year-old man fell around 5:45 a.m., when he walked onto a rocky point and the rocks brook loose, FOX 12 Oregon reported. He then tumbled around 50 to 70 feet down into the caldera.
Park rangers rappelled down and confirmed the man died from injuries he sustained in the fall, according to FOX 12.
