BREWSTER COUNTY, Texas — The body of a 24-year-old hiker was found along a trail in Big Bend National Park on Monday, according to National Park Service.

The hiker, whose identity has not been released yet, was found along the Marufo Vega Trail. On Sunday, park rangers noticed a vehicle that had been parked for multiple days along the trail. The abandoned vehicle triggered a search after records showed that there were no overnight backpackers listed.

The hikers body was removed by helicopter from the area.

The Marufo Vega Trail is a 14-mile loop that winds through rugged desert and along rocky limestone cliffs with no shade or water, making it dangerous, according to National Park Service.

“Big Bend National Park staff and partners are saddened by this loss,” stated Deputy Superintendent Rick Gupman. “Our entire park family extends condolences to the hiker’s family and friends.”

No cause of death has been given, but park officials warn hikers of dangerous temperatures that are still plaguing Texas in October and to be prepared with plenty of water and salty snacks.
