Authorities say they have found a hiker who went missing in southern Utah. The Washington County Sheriff's Office said rescuers found 49-year-old Jim Williamson Tuesday in the Red Mountain area near Ivins. He was taken to a local hospital for treatment. The Salt Lake City man apparently fell off a ledge into a narrow canyon. Rescue crews had to land a helicopter on the ledge, rapel down and hoist Williamson out on a stretcher. Williamson fell far and knocked most of his teeth out, but he is expected to be okay.
