On a Saturday evening in March, 2020, professional athlete Marshall Miller scaled a 2,350-foot tall sandstone monolith in Zion National Park. Once on top, he geared up into a wingsuit, and jumped off.
Some 700 feet above the canyon floor, Miller deployed the pilot chute on his container and floated to a landing on the banks of a river running through the floor of the canyon. He took a moment to unzip from his suit and fold the fabric, and began walking. A few hundred yards away, federal agents were staked out, waiting to arrest him.
Operating on an anonymous tip, three National Park Service rangers were standing on the canyon floor, surveilling Miller’s jump. His federal crime? BASE jumping. This adventure sport of jumping from earth-based objects (BASE is an acronym for Building, Antenna, Span, and Earth) is criminally prosecuted in all National Parks.
