GRAND CANYON NATIONAL PARK, AZ — National Park officials say a Maryland man reported missing amid a backpacking trip in the Grand Canyon has been found alive.
Clifton “Cliff” Beck, 66, was reported overdue after he failed to return from a two-night trip to the Walhalla Plateau. He received a permit for a trip from Sept. 10-12 and was expected to exit the backcountry of the park on Sept. 12.
Search crews spent multiple days searching for Beck by air and ground. On Friday around 8:20 a.m., crews found him near Roosevelt Point on the North Rim.
Beck is said to be in stable condition and is being treated.
