The bodies of a man and woman were found Sunday morning in Acadia National Park in Maine, according to CBS Portland subsidiary WGME. The two hikers had apparently descended 100 feet along the ice-covered cliffs of Dorr Mountain, Acadia National Park said
The walkers are believed to be a 28-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, both from Rutland, Massachusetts. They arrived at nearby Bar Harbor on March 16 and were last heard on Thursday.
Officials began looking for the two on Friday night after the family reported the walkers were missing. Concerns arose when the hikers failed to check out of their hotel or return their rental car.
The US Coast Guard has deployed a helicopter from Cape Cod and a ground search was conducted Saturday morning.
Mount Desert Island Search and Rescue and a Maine Forest Service helicopter eventually helped National Park Rangers locate the bodies.
