The hiker in question was reported missing after failing to return from an expedition on October 18, 2021. They had been attempting to scale Mount Elbert, the highest peak in the state of Colorado, Lake County Search and Rescue said.

The individual was reported late at around 8:00PM after starting the hike at 9:00AM on the same day.

Lake County Search and Rescue stated that while search crews traversed the area the following day, they couldn’t locate the individual, who had apparently wandered from the trail and spent the evening attempting to find it again.
