A white-water guide at Grand Teton National Park drowned on Tuesday during a training run down the Snake River.

A park release Tuesday evening said the 44-year-old victim was from Moran, Wyoming, and was an employee of the Grand Teton Lodge Company. According to the release, the guide was leading a training trip on the river when his raft hit a log snag and got tangled near the historic Bar BC Dude Ranch.

"Some of the passengers fell into the cold and swift moving water, and as the boat operator attempted to dislodge the raft, he fell into the water as well," the release added. "The passengers were able to climb to safety on the log snag itself and eventually back into raft, but could not find the boat operator. They contacted Teton Interagency Dispatch at approximately 3:30 p.m. requesting help."

At approximately 5:15 p.m. the body of the boat operator was located and recovered near the log snag. All the individuals involved in the accident were employees of Grand Teton Lodge Company, a park concessioner. No injuries were reported of the three passengers.
