An 89-year-old hiker is missing in Idaho after he was last seen setting off down a trail over a week ago, authorities said.

Bing Olbum left from the Hunter Creek Trailhead on Aug. 1 and never reached the exit point of the Mcdonald Creek Area, the Custer County Sheriff's Office said. The trailhead is located within the Salmon-Challis National Forest. 

Officials said that search and rescue units were deployed and searching all possible trails for Olbum.

As of Sunday morning, search and rescue teams did not report finding any signs of the 89-year-old.

"The trail follows the creek to the head of the canyon where the switchbacks become steeper and a little more difficult," reads a description of the trail on the U.S. Forest Service website. "At the top, the timber clears and visitors have a clear view of Mount Ryan (11,714 feet) and Kent Peak."
