A 21-year-old hiker died after slipping off the trail near the summit of Mount Marcy, New York<\/a>\u2019s tallest peak, authorities said.<\/p>\n

The Adirondack Daily Enterprise reported<\/u><\/a> that the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (NYSDEC) confirmed the victim, who was from New Jersey, was found dead near the summit area Thursday night.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Officials have not released the hiker\u2019s name or gender.<\/p>\n

The NYSDEC did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital\u2019s request for comment, but a spokesperson for the state government agency told the Adirondack Daily Enterprise the hiker had called 911 at 3:05 p.m., saying they slipped and were unable to get back onto the trail.<\/p>\n

A dog was with the victim<\/a>, and it was not immediately clear whether anyone else was hiking with them or what caused the slip.<\/p>\n

Two forest rangers tried to locate the hiker from a State Police helicopter, but heavy cloud cover<\/a> around Mount Marcy\u2019s summit prevented them from making visual contact, a NYSDEC spokesperson told the outlet.<\/p>\n

Around 6:06 p.m., one of the rangers was dropped at the Marcy Dam Outpost<\/a> \u2014 roughly 5 miles from and nearly 3,000 feet below the summit \u2014 to begin a ground search.<\/p>\n

The ranger then hiked toward the hiker\u2019s last known location near the summit and found the 21-year-old at 9:51 p.m., deceased, according to the spokesperson.<\/p>\n

The dog was found alive and was led off the mountain by rangers, officials said, but poor weather conditions initially prevented crews from recovering the hiker\u2019s body.<\/p>\n

A State Police helicopter transported two forest rangers to the site on Friday morning, where they were able to recover the hiker\u2019s remains.<\/p>\n

“The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation offers its condolences to the family,” the spokesperson said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
