Crews plan to make another search in the Calico Basin area near Red Rock Canyon Saturday for a hiker missing since last month.
Ron Kirk, 46, was last heard from Jan. 17 right before he began a hike in that area.
Kirk's family said since news of him being missing first went public, they have seen an outpouring of support and growth of search personnel.

Funds are being collected in support of the search through www.FindRonKirk.com with a PayPal account setup on the site, his family said.
They said the funds are being used to support search teams with water and food.
Friends and family told FOX5 last month that Ron is an avid outdoors man who has hiked the area dozens of times in the last few years.
"He's a Jarhead in every sense, he's highly trained in survival skills," said Garnett Kirk, Ron's younger brother.
Kirk's red Jeep was found in a parking lot in the Calico Basin area.
