Colorado hiker, lost for 24 hours, ignored rescuers' calls because hiker didn’t recognize the number
Fox News
A Colorado hiker who had wandered off the trail and got lost ignored repeated phone calls from rescuers because the hiker didn’t recognize the number, officials said.
The missing hiker finally showed up at their place of lodging around 9:30 a.m. and the search was called off, LCSAR said.
The hiker told rescue officials they had wandered off the trail around nightfall and could not find their way back. They said they spent the night searching for the trail, and once located, bounced around onto different trails trying to locate the proper trailhead – all while not realizing that a rescue team was out looking for them.
