The bodies of a man and a woman were found Sunday morning in Acadia National Park in Maine, according to CBS Portland branch WGME. The two hikers apparently fell 100 meters along the ice-covered cliffs of Dorrberg, Acadia National Park said.
The hikers are believed to be a 28-year-old man and a 30-year-old woman, both from Rutland, Massachusetts. They arrived in nearby Bar Harbor on March 16 and were last heard from on Thursday.
Officials began searching for the two on Friday night after the family reported the hikers missing. Concern arose when the hikers could not move out of their hotel or return their rental car.
The U.S. Coast Guard deployed a helicopter from Cape Cod and a ground search was conducted Saturday morning.
Mount Desert Island Search and Rescue and a Maine Forest Service helicopter eventually helped locate the bodies.
