They believe 41-year-old "Alice" Yu Xie went on a day hike to the Upper Yosemite Fall overlook on Thursday or Friday. She has not been seen since.

She traveled to Yosemite from Mariposa on the YARTS bus on Thursday and was carrying a small green backpack.

Zie is a 41-year-old Asian female. She is less than 5 feet tall, weighs less than 100 pounds and has neck-length black hair.
