Search Under Way for Missing Hiker

A search and rescue team from Clackamas County is looking for a hiker who failed to come home after heading up to the Mount Hood area.

According to Lt. Jim Strovink with the Clackamas County Sheriff's Office, the hiker left home Monday morning, telling his wife that he would be home that night. When he didn't return, she filed a missing persons report with the Portland Police Bureau.

Strovink said deputies have searched several trailheads in the areas where the man may have parked his pickup, including Angel's Rest and Lolo Pass. No sign of the vehicle has been found.
