Search for missing Yellowstone hiker moves from rescue to recovery operation

Officials in Yellowstone National Park are scaling back efforts to find a missing hiker after 11 days of searching a remote corner of the park.

More than 100 people have been searching around Eagle Peak, in Yellowstone’s southeast corner, for Austin King, a 22-year-old male, who was last heard from on Tuesday, Sept. 17, when he called friends and family from the summit of Eagle Peak.
