GREAT FALLS - A park ranger says the search for a missing hiker in Glacier National Park will continue for at least a week.

Twenty-seven-year-old Yi-Jien Hwa of Kentucky was reported missing August 18th, the last day of a planned 100-mile hike. Park Ranger Megan Chaisson says the search was scaled back Tuesday after crews didn't find any clues to Hwa's whereabouts during searches from Saturday through Monday.

Searches are expected to continue until a September 2nd planning meeting.
