Over the weekend, a tragic discovery was made near the Middle St. Vrain trailhead in Boulder County. After not hearing from a missing hiker, his family reported him as missing while on a camping trip. Search teams, accompanied by dogs, were able to locate the 67-year-old's body in a rocky field near the trailhead, as announced by the Boulder County Sheriff's Office.
The team from the Rocky Mountain Rescue Group was able to retrieve the man's body, but his identity has not yet been released by the Boulder County coroner. It was reported that the man had been participating in hiking, climbing, and camping activities in the Indian Peaks Wilderness Area, specifically near the Camp Dick Campground. He was expected to return home on Thursday, but when he did not show up, his family reached out to the sheriff's office for help.
Upon finding the man's vehicle in the parking lot at the trailhead, deputies began their search, which ultimately led to the tragic discovery. The news release stated that there is no suspicion of foul play in the man's death.
Unfortunately, this is the second incident of a missing hiker being found deceased in Boulder County within the past week. Only days before, a 36-year-old man was also found dead after failing to return from a camping trip in the Indian Peaks Wilderness near Brainard Lake.
