KAMAS — By first light Sunday, the Summit County Sheriff's Office expects to have a command post operational to continue the search for two people missing in separate areas of the Uinta Mountains.

The Summit search and rescue team was deployed Saturday evening to begin the search for two women, one of whom has been missing in the Crystal Lake area since 5 p.m. Saturday, and the other, who was missing in the Whiskey Lake area.

The woman who was missing near Whiskey Lake has been located.

The mobile command post will be set up early Sunday, said Summit County Sheriff's detective Ron Bridge.

The other missing person, as of 1 a.m. Sunday, was a 60-year-old man who was hiking in the area of Kings Peak and Henrys Fork Lake. He is currently considered an overdue party, Bridge said, because the man is well-equipped to be in the outdoors but was reported to be late about 7 p.m. Saturday.

No searchers have yet been sent to look for the man because he is equipped and familiar with hiking.

To access the north slope of the Uintas, searchers would have to travel through Wyoming.

Bridge said the sheriff's office does not want volunteers to come to the mountains to help with searches until the agency exhausts its resources. Volunteers will be turned away until they are requested.

Low temperatures Saturday night in the Uintas were expected to be in the 50s.
