A Columbus man died after falling 60 feet from a cliff while hiking at a state nature preserve in southeastern Ohio. The Ohio Department of Natural Resources says David Lawrence Archer fell to his death yesterday around 12:30 p.m. at Conkles Hollow State Nature Preserve in Hocking County.

ODNR spokeswoman Jane Beathard says Archer was hiking with three others when they strayed off the trails into an unauthorized area of the preserve is about 40 miles southeast of Columbus.

Beathard says the group decided to take a shortcut down the cliff and Archer fell while trying to pick up something he dropped.
