Photo: Facebook A 28-year-old Wyoming woman tragically died on a hike with her husband after authorities say she fell over 200 feet from a mountain cliff. The Sheridan County Sheriff's Office confirmed Tuesday's fatal incident in a press release and identified the victim as Calli Aust, of Sheridan. Aust was on a planned hike with her husband to see the sunrise from the top of Steamboat Point when she fell more than 200 feet, according to authorities. Steamboat Point is an abandoned fire lookout located in Wyoming's Bighorn Mountains, the Sheridan Press reported. AFAR magazine considers the spot to be the "most frequently photographed natural attraction in the mountains." The Sheridan County Sheriff's Office said deputies were called to the scene around 5:50 a.m. after receiving a call from Aust's husband reporting that he was unable to find his wife following her fall.

In addition to the Sheriff's Office, the Sheridan County Search and Rescue, Dayton Fire-Rescue, Rocky Mountain Ambulance, Sheridan Fire-Rescue, Wyoming Highway Patrol and life flight all responded to the scene around 6:30 a.m. to help search for Aust, the press release stated.

Following the discovery, the Bighorn National Forest Service was called in to assist with recovery efforts while an investigation was launched by the Forest Service, the Sheriff's Office and the Wyoming Highway Patrol.

At this time, authorities do not believe foul play was involved and are considering Aust's death to be accidental. In the wake of the tragedy, Bighorn National Forest's Public Affairs Officer Sara Kirol urged people to be careful when hiking, especially at high, steep locations like Steamboat Point, which she said has no safety measures in place.

"Cliff edges are unstable and there are a lot of loose rocks on the top of these high places. Standing or sitting near or on the edge of cliff faces is very risky, no matter the location." According to Aust's Facebook, she had been working as a Registered Nurse at Sisterhood Sanctuary Sheridan at the time of her death. She and her husband had been married since May 23, 2014.
