Rescuers searching for a lost hiker in the Beartooth Mountains believe the young woman is not alive.
Tatum Morell, a 23-year-old Montana State University student from Idaho, was an experienced backcountry hiker and had planned to summit five peaks over 12,000 feet from a base camp in the West Fork of the Rock Creek drainage.
She last spoke with her mother July 1 through a Garmin InReach satellite communicator. It is believed that she left her tent at Shadow Lake the next morning and never returned.
After nearly a week of intense search efforts in the mountains near Red Lodge, rescuers now believe it is unlikely she survived, Red Lodge Fire Rescue said in a statement Saturday evening.
