Authorities say a father died over the weekend when he fell roughly 200 feet (61 meters) while hiking with his wife and five children in Oregon. The Multnomah County Sheriff’s Office on Monday identified the man as 41-year-old Gerardo Hernandez-Rodriguez of Beaverton, Oregon. Hernandez-Rodriguez was hiking with his family on a popular trail near Multnomah Falls on Saturday afternoon. The sheriff's office says he stumbled and fell from a switchback not far from the falls and the scenic Benson Bridge, roughly 30 miles (48.28 kilometers) east of Portland. A sheriff's deputy found Hernandez's body at the base of a cliff near a highway that runs alongside the Columbia River and the trail system.
