Rangers and deputies searched late Wednesday night for a missing hiker believed to have fallen from the popular Angels Landing trail in Zion National Park — but rain and wind have frustrated widespread efforts.
The Washington County Sheriff’s Office received reports of a possible fall at 7:40 p.m. Search and rescue crews were dispatched to the area where heavy rain in southern Utah — the first in months — made it difficult to see.
“Investigators are working alongside the park rangers to verify the information and locate the possible victim,” according to a news release from the sheriff’s office.
