Rangers discovered the body of a woman in the popular Devils Garden part of Arches National Park in Utah, the park service reported.

The woman’s body was recovered at about 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 1, rangers said in a news release.

She has not been identified and no cause of death has been released, rangers said. The body was transferred to the Utah Office of the Medical Examiner.

The Grand County Sheriff’s Office in Colorado is assisting with the investigation.

Arches National Park, near Moab in southeastern Utah, covers 119 square miles and sees more than 1.5 million visitors a year.

The Devils Garden area features “arches, spires, and a large concentration of narrow rock walls called ‘fins,’” park officials said. It’s “one of the premier locations in the park.”

    Tennessee’s Republican-dominant House on Wednesday spiked legislation that would have banned local governments from paying to either study or dispense money for reparations for slavery. It easily cleared the Republican-controlled Senate last April, but lawmakers eventually hit pause as the House became consumed with controversy over expelling two Black Democratic lawmakers for their participating in a pro-gun control protest from the House floor. Interest in the reparations bill emerged again this year, just as lawmakers and GOP Gov. Bill Lee were in the process of finalizing the removal and replacement of every board member of the state's only publicly-funded historically Black public university, Tennessee State University.
