The rescue teams met up again at 7 a.m. Wednesday to resume searching.

The search is focused on the Fourth of July Mine area. That area received about 10 inches of snow overnight, complicating the search.

The woman who they believe is missing is typically a day hiker and would not be equipped for the weather.

That trailhead has very heavy use in the warmer months, probably not many people out there with the forecast. Bless those hikers for calling in an alert. Arapaho & Roosevelt National Forests Pawnee National Grassland - Fourth of July Trailhead

They don’t know her name ,perhaps from the car registration? I assume no ones reported her missing.

Any identity on the body yet?

Any identity on the body yet?

Quoted from article:

Boulder County Sheriff’s Office said the missing woman, who has not been formally identified, is typically a day-hiker.

Sounds to me like they know who she is, but have not said so publicly.

I'm a serious hiker and so the missing hiker stories always bring me in (and one of them is what brought me here a couple of months ago). Your message is so incredibly important that I wanted to bold and repeat it. Always, always have the Ten Essentials, and outside of the summer season even more than that, no matter what hike you're doing and how short and easy you think it might be. Thank you for posting this.

Finally, an identity. Yes indeed, so sad and such a needless tragedy.
Sometimes I just don’t get it. I mean, why?

I have the same questions, what happened?
