The National Park Service revealed that the 60-year-old, from North Carolina, was located by helicopter on Wednesday along the Colorado River.

A solo backpacker has been found dead near a remote trail along the Grand Canyon two days after his family first raised concerns.

It is believed the man was on a solo backpacking trip for multiple days from Thunder River to Deer Creek, the Guardian report. In July, a Texas man hiking a popular trail in the Grand Canyon was declared dead, the National Park Service announced. Officials identified the hiker as 69-year-old Scott Sims from Austin, explaining in a Monday press release that he was heading to Phantom Ranch where he was planning on staying for the night.
