According to National Park Service, Taft Point is “an area with very steep terrain” it is also a popular spot for tourists trying to get the perfect photo. The attraction features an overlook, allowing visitors to walk to the cliff’s edge. However, there is no railing.
The bodies of the couple were recovered on Oct. 25 after park rangers used a number of “rappelling techniques” and a helicopter from the California Highway Patrol.
Excited to share their experiences with others, Viswanath and Moorthy created an Instagram account, which has acquired over 12,000 followers. They also ran a blog called Holidays and Happily Ever Afters.
