Rangers in Grand Canyon National Park have likely recovered the body of a Santa Fe man they believe was attempting to raft the Colorado River on a self-made wooden raft.
Officials say they were notified about the body Friday near river mile 6, which is just downstream from Lees Ferry where they say 58-year-old Thomas Robison set out with his dog last month.
On April 21, a vehicle belonging to Robison was found abandoned at Lees Ferry. He was believed to be traveling with his dog, an 11-year-old Welsh corgi. Park officials did not provide any further information about the dog.
The remains have been transferred to the Coconino County Medical Examiner who will confirm the identification.
The Park Service didn’t provide additional information about Robison or the incident and are continuing an investigation.
