A 68-year-old man fell to his death while hiking on a popular trail in Arches National Park in Utah.

The man from Paramus, New Jersey, fell about 30 feet Tuesday morning, park officials said in a statement.

Resuscitation efforts were unsuccessful. The man's name wasn't released.

The fall happened near an overlook on Devils Garden Trail, a popular loop in the busy park known for its 2,000 sandstone arches.

It's the world's highest concentration of natural arches.
