    Maybe they went up north and then turned east (for whatever reason) towards Indian Cove as Force Ten said. The next track coming on that side is Boyscout Trail, which is about 1.6 miles as the crow flies. But even that is a pretty remote area, which is why there are no hikers on that trail...

    Let me just check, I used the version of that picture with the coordinates showing, and I'm pretty sure it's there: Here you can clearly see it being between 571000 E and 572000 E and it is between 3773000 N and 3774000 N (the coordinates used here are called Mercator System, as seen on the...

    Yes, you're right, as a European I'm not really familiar with these types of areas, but I still think they rather would have continued further north as they probably came from the south. Especially if you look at the north route, it has some very remote and steep canyons/washes which aren't even...

    I managed to find out some more about pings here: http://www.otherhand.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/Ewasko-ping-discussion.pdf This is for the Verizon-system on another case, but it seems to confirm that a ping only means the phone was turned on and connected to a tower.

    Thanks! So, looking at the map it seems if the two were actually in that canyon they found the footprints in, there's not many directions to go - only southeast, southwest and north. If they took one of the southern routes, they should have been found by now, right?

    I decided to make a new post instead of making an edit of the older one. Here you go: I will try to keep the map updated, so criticism/new information is welcome. I hope I'm not violating any rules here, but I can't find anything about linking to filehosting sites. Edit: Ok, here the links...

    So, I think I'm finished with the first version of the map. I'll be posting a .kmz download link on my Google Drive (for use with Google Earth) and a Maps version. The maps version will be lacking the topographical overlays though, so for best overview you should use the Earth version. Coming in...

    I was thinking about making a Google Earth/Maps Map with all clues so far (I guess it is easier to get an overview), as soon as I've got the time. Do you think it would be useful here?
