An Australian hiker was found dead in a remote stretch between two Wyoming national parks nearly a week after losing contact with his family, according to authorities. The body of William Standish, 28, was discovered by rescuers on Wednesday morning in the Wigwams, a series of rocky peaks on the west slope of the Teton mountain range, the Teton County Coroner confirmed to The Post. Standish, of Australia, had been attempting a thru-hike of the Continental Divide Trail between the Yellowstone and Grand Teton national parks when he vanished after contacting his family last Thursday, according to Teton County Search and Rescue.
