SPANISH FORK, Utah — The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources has called off its search for a mountain lion that attacked a hiker Thursday afternoon.
The man drove himself to a local hospital and was treated for cuts on his arms, hands, and one leg. He is reported to be in fair condition as of Friday. DWR and U.S. Department of Agriculture conservation officers returned Friday morning to resume their search. They did not find the cougar, but they did find paw prints on the ridge above where the attack happened. DWR announced Friday afternoon that they have ended the search"for now."
Signs were placed in the area near the scene of the attack, warning hikers about the mountain lion's presence.
