Braaten had reportedly gone out on the Fernwood Trail in Layton — authorities are asking hikers who were on the trail between Friday evening and Saturday evening to call Davis County Dispatch at 801-451-4150 if they had any sightings of him.

At this time, the Davis County Sheriff’s Office has asked for assistance from other search and rescue teams in the effort to find Braaten. Volunteers are not needed at this time due to conditions in the area.

“We’ve been asked if there is a need for volunteers. Conditions at higher elevation in this area are challenging and dangerous. We have asked for assistance from other SAR teams in the area and do not need additional volunteers. Thank you,” the sheriff’s office stated on social media.

This is a developing story. ABC4 will update this post as more information becomes available.
