Tim and Esther Keiderling were found dead this week after attempting to scale Mount Katahdin in Maine over the weekend, after a massive search party recovered their bodies.

A New York father and daughter whose bodies were found on a mountain in Maine earlier this week had planned the hike while on a work trip.

Their bodies were found near the summit of Mount Katahdin, at the end of the Appalachian Trail, officials said, after a search that began on Monday.
