PICTURED: Dad, 52, and daughter, 23, who died on hike in Utah after making shocking mistake
The Wisconsin father and daughter who tragically died after making a shocking mistake while on a hike in Utah have been identified.
The San Juan County Sheriff's Office confirmed on Monday afternoon that Albino Herrera, 52 and his daughter, Beatriz Herrera, 23, of Green Bay, were found dead at Canyonlands National Park on Friday.
At the time of the unfortunate incident, the air temperature was reported to be higher than 100°F, officials said.
Albino, the owner of El Sarape, a popular restaurant in Green Bay, and Beatriz, were hiking on the Syncline Loop Trail- 'the most challenging trail in the Island in the Sky district'- when they got lost and ran out of water, the National Park Service said on Sunday.
San Juan County Dispatch received a 911 text from someone at the national park, but once a search team arrived, the father and daughter were deceased.

'Due to the remote area and rugged terrain, San Juan County Sheriff's Office coordinated with the Department of Public Safety helicopter team to extract the decedents in the early morning hours of July 13,' police said.
The department added that the hiker's bodies have been delivered to the State Office of the Medical Examiner.
On July 3, the father and daughter appeared to be traveling as Albino posted a sweet picture of them standing in front of a rocky background, similar to the Utah park.
In June, around Father's Day, he posted a picture of them with helmets on as Beatriz smiled big for the camera.
The pair also seemed to spend a lot of time together, enjoying many Green Bay Packers football games.

'While temperatures remain high this summer, park visitors are advised to carry and drink plenty of water and avoid strenuous activity during midday heat,' the National Park Service said.
The Syncline Loop Trail requires hikers to climb and navigate boulder fields and steep zigzag paths.
The trail is 8.1miles long and is situated on a 1,500ft elevation change, according to the National Park Service. It takes about five to seven hours to complete the hike.
The agency has informed hikers to over prepare for the treacherous journey with necessary supplies, including at least a gallon of water, snacks, headlamps, flashlights, maps, and 'sturdy footwear.'
They also warn hikers to be prepared for all types of weather conditions, including sun, rain, the cold, or intense heat.
Another person lost their life in the suffocating heat late Saturday, according to the Santa Clara-Ivins Public Safety Department.
The department received a call that two people were 'suffering from a heat-related incident' at Snow Canyon State Park - about five hours from Canyonlands National Park.
Multiple agencies responded and swiftly rescued the two, but a passerby soon reported a third person unconscious nearby, Fox 13 reported.

Search crews discovered the person, a 30-year-old unidentified woman, dead when they arrived.
On June 29 a Texas man, Scott Sims, 69, was found dead on a popular hiking trail in the Grand Canyon.
The Grand Canyon dispatching office received a report around 7pm that Sims was found semi-conscious on the canyon's River Trail, which runs for just under two miles along the Colorado River.
Officials said that he was heading to Phantom Ranch where he was planning on staying for the night.
Three National Park Service paramedics rushed to the hiker's position from Phantom Ranch as bystanders began doing CPR on Sims.
Unfortunately, all efforts to resuscitate him were unsuccessful, leading the Park Service to issue a dire warning about extreme heat while hiking, especially on the specific trail Sims was on.
