An experienced hiker who was reported missing on Wednesday was found dead Friday in Oregon's Mount Hood National Forest, authorities said.
The hiker was last heard from at 2 p.m. Wednesday, only planning a day hike and did not have overnight gear.
According to the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, the hiker's family reported the 33-year-old man missing at 7:30 p.m. that night.
A county search team was called out, and rescuers quickly found the hiker's footprints in the snow near the Paradise Park Trail in southeast Portland.
