SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Emery County search and rescue crews on Wednesday continued the search for a Colorado woman missing since Nov. 16.
Emery County sheriff's Sgt. Bliss Mead says Rose Backhaus of New Castle, Colo., was reported missing by her family when she failed to return from a hiking trip. The 54-year-old's sport utility vehicle was found Monday afternoon parked near the Little Wild Horse Canyon trailhead in Goblin Valley State Park.
The popular canyon trail is well known for its narrow slot canyons.
The 3,654-acre park near Hanksville is about 230 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
Mead says Backhaus was last seen Nov. 15 in nearby Moab, Utah. She had been hiking in Canyonlands National Park.
