Search teams are continuing their efforts to find Leo Dufour, a 22-year-old man from Vaudreuil, Quebec, who went missing after hiking in the Adirondack Mountains over the weekend. Dufour had set out to hike Allen Mountain on Friday but did not return as planned on Saturday, prompting his family to report him missing.

New York State Police have launched a coordinated search involving forest rangers and air support units. However, tracking efforts have been hindered by the recent snowfall in the region, making it harder to follow any potential tracks or signs of Dufour. The Department of Environmental Protection confirmed that Dufour’s car was discovered near the trailhead, covered in snow. The search teams have been working tirelessly on both the ground and in the air to locate the missing hiker.
Dufour is described as being 5 feet 7 inches tall and weighing 150 pounds, with brown hair. He was last seen wearing a black Arc’teryx jacket, a tan hat, and reflective sunglasses, which could make it easier for search teams to spot him in the vast and challenging terrain.
Authorities are urging anyone who may have seen Dufour or knows of his whereabouts to come forward with information. As the search efforts continue, family members and loved ones remain hopeful for his safe return, and the community’s support continues to grow. The investigation and search are ongoing, and authorities are doing everything they can to bring Dufour home.
