LITTLE COTTONWOOD CANYON – Police are searching for an Alta man who has been missing since Monday afternoon.

48-year-old Corry Ehlers is an avid hiker who told his girlfriend he was going for a hike in Little Cottonwood Canyon on Monday.

Police say Ehlers left his cell phone and car behind at a condo he was supposed to be moving out of on Monday. They found that car and another one belonging to him in Sandy, both filled with his belongings.

A search team of helicopters, ski patrol, rescue dogs and ATVs has combed the mountainside near Little Cottonwood Canyon.
