More than 200 searchers from six Utah counties Tuesday headed into the Fish Lake National Forest south of Scipio looking for a Springville hiker missing since Sunday.

The searchers from Juab, Millard, Salt Lake, Sanpete, Sevier and Utah counties were joined by dog teams, helicopters and planes in efforts to locate Ryan H. Johnston, 18, a dispatcher said.Johnston was hiking Sunday with a friend in the Pavant Range area when they became separated. The friend went back to their camp and, when Johnston failed to return, called law officials, the dispatcher said.

When he was last seen in the Robin's Valley area, Johnston was wearing a camouflage outfit and sneakers.
