Grand Canyon Told This Tourist Couple To Turn Back. They Took A Selfie At The Sign And Kept Going.

Sofia and Marco Ferretti were on day four of their honeymoon when they descended into Grand Canyon at 10:31 AM in July. The sign said don't hike after 10:00 AM. They stopped at the sign. They took a selfie. They kept going. They had two 500ml bottles between them. The NPS sign said four liters each. By 1:15 PM Sofia could not stand. Marco left to get help. The helicopter found them four kilometers apart on the same trail. She was unconscious. He could not walk. The selfie at the warning sign was timestamped 10:28. This is the forensic timeline of 31 minutes that defined their honeymoon. LAST KNOWN POINT — Where the trail ends, the truth begins.
