A 28-year-old Australian hiker vanished on the Continental Divide Trail in Wyoming, and his body was found Wednesday in the Wigwams after a dramatic rescue effort — investigators believe he fell from a steep ridgeline, his orange backpack spotted by helicopter. His family’s last contact was July 23rd, when GPS updates stopped. Teton County SAR teams, aided by federal agencies, conducted the search and extended heartfelt condolences to his loved ones — this tragedy joins a troubling trend of recent hiking fatalities across North America.
