SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- More crews arrived in southern Utah Friday in the continuing search for a Colorado woman missing since Nov. 16.
The Emery County Sheriff's Office says the search for 54-year-old Rose Backhaus is focusing in the area of Goblin Valley State Park.
Backhaus, of New Castle, Colo., was reported missing by her family when she failed to return from a hiking trip. Her 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 search since Monday has included a helicopter, off-road vehicles and search dogs.
There were no new leads in the search Friday.
The 3,654-acre state park near Hanksville is about 230 miles southeast of Salt Lake City.
