Mounties say the body of a hiker has been found after a three-day search in western Alberta.

They say the death isn't believed to be criminal.

The hiker's vehicle was located in the Coral Creek staging area near Nordegg, Alta., shortly after the 55-year-old was reported missing Monday.

Police say helicopters, search and rescue volunteers from Rocky Mountain House and emergency personnel from Kananaskis began searching the area on Tuesday.

The hiker was found Thursday about 12 kilometres from the vehicle.

The body has been sent to the medical examiner's office.
