A hiker set off his emergency beacon on Glacier Peak.

A U.S. Navy helicopter is searching for a man hiking alone who may be in trouble on Glacier Peak.

The man apparently activated an emergency beacon just before 8:30 a.m. today, but the Snohomish County Sheriff’s Office isn’t sure whether the activation was deliberate or accidental, Lt. Rodney Rochon said.

“We are responding to this as if it were an intentional activation,” Rochon said.

Hopefully they will find him in the morning.
