Missing hiker reported in Pitkin County

PITKIN COUNTY, Colo. — The Pitkin County Sheriff's Office is asking for help finding a woman who was reported missing after going hiking Sunday.

Jennifer Hearn was last seen on Upper River Road near Triangle Peak Trail around 11 a.m. Hearn may have been wearing denim shorts with a green T-shirt or long-sleeved shirt, the sheriff's office said. She is described as 5 feet 10 inches tall and weighing 125 pounds. She has gray hair and brown eyes, the missing person's report states.

Hearn was thought to be hiking with his dog, a brown Irish setter named Tawny.

According to AllTrails.com, Triangle Peak, which is between Basalt and Aspen, is considered a difficult route due to the steepness of the trail and sharp rocks. The out-and-back trail is just under five miles, and hikers will gain more than 1,800 feet in elevation along the way.

Anyone who has seen Hearn or his dog is asked to call the Pitkin County Sheriff's Office at 970-920-5300.
