Schwab, of Healdsburg, California was last seen Friday, June 28 after taking a river trip near river mile 167 on a small beach downriver from National Canyon, according to Latanich.

From there, Schwab was scheduled to take a day hike to the Narrows in Grand Canyon but did not return, NPS officials said.
