(ABC 6 News) — The search for a Winona man who went missing in Yellowstone National Park has entered a critical seventh day.
Austin King was reported missing last Friday when he failed to show up at a pickup point following a backpacking trip through Eagle Peak.
The mountain is nearly 11,500 feet in elevation, the highest point in the national park. Efforts to locate the 22-year-old have expanded with 96 personnel, two helicopters, ground teams with spotting scopes, and a drone.
King’s cell phone activity is reportedly being used to assist in the search.
