The National Park Service is asking for the public’s help in locating Patrick J. Trier, a 71-year-old white male who was last seen in Salina, Utah, on Sunday, August 16.

Trier may have been camping in Goblin Valley State Park or near Moab, Utah, before arriving at the Horseshoe Canyon trailhead of Canyonlands National Park on August 17. Trier has long brown hair, a mustache, and has an atrophied right arm. He is approximately six feet tall and has a medium build. He was most likely wearing jeans and a blue hat and carrying a small black and gray backpack.

If you or someone you know may have seen Trier at Horseshoe Canyon and/or in the days leading up to his trip, please contact the NPS Tip Line at 888-653-0009, or online at go.nps.gov/SubmitATip.
