Body found in Grand Canyon National Park of man traveling down Colorado River with dog
The National Park Service says a missing New Mexico man who is “believed to have attempted travel down the Colorado River with his dog on a wooden raft” has been found dead inside Grand Canyon National Park.
Thomas Robison, 58, of Santa Fe, was discovered by park rangers in the Colorado River on Friday, according to the NPS.
The agency previously said on April 21, a champagne 2001 Toyota Tacoma belonging to Robison “was found abandoned at Lee’s Ferry in Glen Canyon National Recreation Area” and that his whereabouts were unknown at the time.
“It is believed he may have attempted to go down the Colorado River with his dog, who is a Welsh Corgi, on a self-made raft,” they said.

Robison’s body is now being examined by the Coconino County Medical Examiner and the NPS is investigating the incident. The NPS says “initial information” indicates that the body is of Robison.
The cause of his death is unclear.
It comes after an Arizona hiker died on a popular Grand Canyon hiking trail in November 2023 in what was the 10th death that year at the national park.
The NPS identified that hiker as 65-year-old James Handschy of Oracle, Arizona.
Handschy had set off for a hike from the South Rim to the river and back along the Bright Angel Trail, the agency said, a roundtrip of about 18 miles.

The homemade raft that Robison, 58, is believed to have set off on in an attempt to travel down the Colorado River, NPS officials say.
In September 2023, another Grand Canyon hiker died while trying to walk rim to rim in one day, officials said.
Ranjith Varma, 55, of Manassas, Virginia, was attempting to trek from the South to North Rim on Sept. 9 when he became unresponsive along the North Kaibab Trail, approximately one mile south of Cottonwood Campground, the National Park Service said.
Rangers responded to the emergency call about the hiker in distress and deployed a helicopter with search and rescue personnel, the NPS said.

The Colorado Buffaloes and coach Deion Sanders hosted one of the top offensive linemen from the state of Maryland on a recruiting visit on Thursday.
Three-star interior offensive line prospect Jaiden Lindsay spent two days in Boulder on an unofficial visit, just a few months removed from landing a scholarship offer from the Buffs.
Offensive Lineman Jaiden Lindsay’s Rise
Lindsay is listed as a three-star recruit by 247Sports in the class of 2027. His play at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in Olney, Maryland, has earned him the No. 22 prospect ranking in the state according to 247Sports, which also lists him as the No. 56 interior offensive lineman in the class and the No. 900 overall recruit.
The current high school junior stands 6-3 and weighs in at an impressive 275 pounds. With plenty of time for development, a frame like that has certainly caught the attention of many Power Four programs.
He has offers from 14 FBS programs, with some key names being the reigning national champion Indiana Hoosiers, the Penn State Nittany Lions, Kentucky Wildcats, West Virginia Mountaineers and Pittsburgh Panthers.
But Colorado’s primary competition will come from Lindsay’s hometown school. The Maryland Terrapins are currently listed as his first choice, as they are also the only team 247Sports has given an interest level of warm to at this stage of the recruiting process.
Colorado is currently listed second on his interest list, and is the only other program Lindsay has scheduled an official visit to.
How Jaiden Lindsay Would Benefit the Colorado Buffaloes
Colorado is in a rebuilding period with its offensive line. While sophomore guard Yahya Attia seems to be the future of the interior offensive line for the Buffaloes as it currently stands, the Buffs will be looking to build around him and sure up their future for when he’s gone as well.
Lindsay is a prospect flying under the radar at the moment, preventing Colorado from having to engage in a long-term, neck-and-neck battle with many other high-profile programs and lots of NIL money involved. But he still has all the physicals and the flashes on film of a player who, while he may be a project, could pan out at the next level.
He has one more season of high school to develop, and with the right training program under offensive line coach Gunnar White and the Colorado staff, he could see his full potential realized in Boulder.
What’s Next in Jaiden Lindsay’s Recruitment
All of this leads up to June 2026. In the span of that month, Lindsay is set to visit both Colorado (on June 5) and Maryland (on June 19). Those two official visits will be crucial in determining the last legs of his recruitment process.
The key thing to note about how the visits are staggered: Colorado gets to make the first impression. Depending on how his visit with Colorado goes, Coach Prime and the Buffaloes could force Maryland to fight an uphill battle during his visit on the 19th if his mind is at all made up by then. So Buffs fans should pay close attention when the mid-summer rolls around.

Thousands of candy-filled Easter eggs rained down on a waiting crowd of patient but eager children at a Colorado church community’s second annual Helicopter Egg Drop.
A charitable crew aboard a helicopter released 6,000 plastic eggs over the yard at Zeal City Church in Windsor, Colorado, early Easter Sunday morning for the parish’s egg hunt.
The copter came back and released even more colorful eggs for a second hunt during a later Easter service that day, CBS Colorado reported.
Lead Pastor Jeremy Cleveland told the outlet that the aerial egg drop is their unique way of “celebrating Jesus at Zeal City Church.”
“We’re celebrating Easter Sunday, the resurrection of Jesus Christ, and we really wanted to bless our community and not just give them a sermon, but something to make them memories with their families and friends,” Cleveland said.
Cleveland highlighted the event’s rousing success, noting that it drew hundreds of families to the Sunday service.
“The kids are enjoying it, loving it. Parents are having a great time. It’s been awesome,” Cleveland’s wife, Brittany, told the outlet.
The Clevelands hope to carry on the burgeoning tradition for many more years to come.
Another local egg drop in 2024 saw a chopper dump 5,000 eggs over a park in Colorado Springs, Fox 21 reported.
The Compass Church in Salinas, California, also hosted its own drop where a helicopter poured 100,000 eggs over the grounds.
