Park County authorities found a body Saturday on Bison Peak that was believed to be missing hiker Frank Stanley.

Park County sheriff’s deputies told Stanley’s family of the discovery late in the day, according to a family friend.

Stanley, 44, set out to climb the 12,431- foot peak July 25 and sent a text message after reaching the summit — but has not been heard from since. His Jeep was found at the Lost Park Trailhead in the Pike National Forest.

Stanley, a teacher at the Ricks Center for Gifted Children at the University of Denver, was an experienced hiker who friends said would have been prepared for the trek.
