A group of students from a troubled youth home in La Verkin, called Youth Foundations, were on a day hike in Kanarraville Falls when a 16-year-old boy tumbled 60 feet and hit a ledge.
According to staff members, it appears the boy suffered a broken ankle, scrapes and possibly broken ribs.
The staff tried to get him out, but decided to get help so they wouldn’t further injure him.
