The family of a 13-year-old boy from Iowa is in mourning after he died falling from a popular climbing spot in Snow Canyon State Park in Utah.

Reports have said that Elijah Baldwin from Farragut, Iowa, was visiting the park with his mother and two siblings for a hike on Sunday afternoon when he wandered away from their group and went climbing by himself in the Pioneer Names area.

Regan Wilson of the Utah State Parks told ABC News in a statement: "The 13-year-old was in a more advanced area, I would guess. He did make it to the top … on the way down, I think, is where the [difficulty] came."
