He hasn&#8217;t been heard from since.<\/p>\n<p>Park officials announced Tuesday night that search efforts were underway to find\u00a0Pollio, who was reported missing on Monday afternoon. His last known message was sent around 8:20 p.m. on Sunday. According to the news release, Pollio\u00a0communicated plans to hike to the Mount\u00a0Brown Fire Lookout.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alltrails.com\/trail\/us\/montana\/mt-brown-lookout-trail\" data-link=\"native\" class=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">AllTrails<\/a> clocks the hike as a 10-mile round-trip trek, with over 4,000 feet of elevation gain. It&#8217;s a steep out-and-back trail that takes hikers to a fire lookout built in the 1920s. The hike is mostly switchbacks in heavily wooded areas before reaching the top of the ridge where the lookout is situated. A review of the trail from the winter described many downed trees in the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rangers are now looking in the Mount\u00a0Brown and Snyder areas, as well as nearby trail corridors. The Sperry Trail is currently closed as a result. Flathead County Search and Rescue and additional aerial resources are working with the park to assist search efforts.<\/p>\n<p>Pollio is a 5-foot-11 white male who weighs about 180 pounds. He has short brown hair and brown eyes and may be wearing jeans, boots and a blue or grey jacket. He is thought to be carrying a black backpack. Anyone who has additional information should call the park tip line at 406-888-7077.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Anthony Pollio, a 33-year-old man from Florida, headed out to hike a popular trail in Glacier National Park&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":260766,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[28,30,29,112708],"class_list":["post-260765","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-florida","tag-florida","tag-florida-headlines","tag-florida-news","tag-sfgparks"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260765","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=260765"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/260765\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/260766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=260765"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=260765"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-fl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=260765"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
