PHOENIX (AZFamily) — A disturbing discovery was made near a popular hiking trail on Monday afternoon.

Firefighters were called out to the Echo Canyon Trail on Camelback Mountain . That’s where they found a man’s body off the trail.

Firefighters believe the man fell and landed in a gully.

It’s unclear how long the body has been there. His name has not been released.

Police said they’re waiting until it gets cooler to recover the body. It’s also really steep in that area, which is making the operation more difficult.

Officers said they’re not shutting down any roads and the Echo Canyon Trail is still open.

Police are on the scene investigating.
