Laurel Valley is the main trail in Horsepasture. Mostly known as the Foothills Trail. Just camped in that area 2 weeks ago. Laurel Fork campsite to be specific. Not a good place to be missing. Only good thing is there are no side trails for many miles in that area. that trail is in a valley with very steep sides. I'd check around Laurel Fork Falls area. Hopefully that waterfall didn't get another one.

Sadly if she isn’t some where warm. That 29 degrees last night would do her in for. But for the families sake. I hope she is found alive and well. I just fear the worst after the low temperatures.
