A day hike over the long weekend turned tragic west of Canmore.

A 22-year-old man from the mountain town has been identified as a hiker who fell to his death, off of Ha Ling Peak.

The RCMP say he became separated from the group he was with on Saturday, with his body later found by Kananaskis emergency services.

It appears he fell off the east side of the peak.
