Volunteers in Las Vegas plan another search in and around the Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area for a missing 46-year-old hiker who was last seen more than two weeks ago.

The missing man’s brother, Darrell Kirk, said the main group effort will begin at 7 a.m. today at a command post at a day hikers parking area on Moenkopi Road off State Route 159.

Kirk said another group, including qualified rock climbers, plans to set out from the Sandstone Quarry area.

Ronald Kirk sent a text message Jan. 16 saying he was going hiking.

He was reported missing Jan. 22 and his vehicle was found Jan. 23 in the Calico Basin area.

Las Vegas police have said they don’t suspect foul play.
