The body of a missing 23-year-old Colorado hiker who vanished while scaling Longs Peak in Rocky Mountain National Park has been found, officials say.
Search crews have found the body of a 23-year-old hiker who vanished earlier this week while scaling the tallest peak in Rocky Mountain National Park. Lucas Macaj was recovered on Mills Glacier near Longs Peak, the park announced late Thursday night, with initial investigations indicating 'he took a significant fall.' 'Rocky Mountain National Park rangers completed an on-scene investigation and recovery operations took place by helicopter,' park officials added.
In a description of Longs Peak, the NPS warns that 'The Keyhole Route can experience winter-like conditions at any time, requiring greater skill and judgment' and to 'Be prepared to turn back during sudden, drastic weather changes.'
