It’s the kind of resolution we love: 35-year-old Clayton Clarke (Pictured) of Pinesdale was missing up in the Tin Cup area west of Darby and has been found safe. Ravalli County Sheriff Steve Holton tells us Clarke returned to the trailhead Wednesday night and is now home.
It had been quite a search and rescue operation, involving Ravalli Search & Rescue and Two-Bear-Air.
The search began when Clarke failed to return as planned Tuesday night. He’d planned to hike west of Tin Cup and north to Como Lake. Apparently, his plans at some point, changed.
