Helicopters on Thursday found the body of a hiker missing since the weekend in Rocky Mountain National Park.
Park officials announced in a news release that the body of Peter Jeffris was located 200 feet below the Ledges on the Keyhole Route.
Jeffris was reported overdue Monday afternoon when he did not arrive at work. His vehicle was found in the parking lot at the Longs Peak Trailhead and friends said he had left home Sunday morning to climb Longs Peak.
After the body was spotted, park officials said, a team was flown to a landing spot in the Glacier Gorge drainage. The four team members then climbed about 1,800 feet to the body.
The body was flown to Upper Beaver Meadows at approximately 4 p.m. and transferred to the Boulder County Coroner.
