Search continues for missing hiker in Red Rock Canyon

Searchers hopeful missing Red Rock Canyon hiker will be found safe
Incident commander Scott Hayes said it is possible Lucas could still be alive despite strong winds and cold temperatures overnight that approached the freezing mark.
Lucas’ vehicle was found in a parking area roughly 2 miles past the conservation area’s main entry. He was not equipped for difficult weather conditions and was wearing clothing typical for a day hike only, Hayes said.
“We don’t know that he had any supplies with him other than a couple bottles of water,” Hayes said.

Oh no! Prayers esp for his children at this time.
