The body of a missing hiker has been found at Glacier National Park in Montana, says the National Park Service. Based on his injuries and where he was found, authorities say Grant Marcuccio, 32, likely fell to his death. He separated from his hiking group on Sunday because he intended to scale the park's McPartland Mountain on his own before rejoining the group, per CBS News.

A 32-year-old hiker/climber has been missing in Montana's Glacier National Park since Sunday, says the National Park Service. Grant Marcuccio got separated from his group while hiking from Heavens Peak to McPartland Peak and never showed up at the rendezvous point, reports the Spokesman-Review. No extreme weather is in the mix: Temperatures ranged from a low in the 50s to a high in the 80s, with only light winds and a trace of precipitation on the day he went missing, per NBC News.
The parks service is searching for Marcuccio and is asking other hikers to keep an eye out. Marcuccio was wearing shorts when he went missing, and it wasn't clear if he had other clothing in his backpack. In his favor: Marcuccio is described as an experienced climber, and he is presumably familiar with the terrain and weather—he lives in the city of Whitefish, about 30 miles from the park. Both McPartland and Heavens peaks are taller than 8,000 feet. (A woman in Colorado was found after four days in the back country.)
