A teen hiker who became separated from her group in one of British Columbia’s largest parks has been found safe after going missing for over two days, Canadian authorities announced.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said Friday that Esther Wang, 16, was healthy, happy and reunited with her family after getting lost in Golden Ears Park.
Authorities reported that the teen lost her way along the park’s East Canyon trail Tuesday afternoon and her hiking group and its leader were unable to find her.
The group’s leader then alerted park officials, who contacted the RCMP, according to a news release.
Sixteen teams worked to find Wang during the 54 hours she was unaccounted for, police said in the release.
