A 55-year-old hiker was alone on an Alaska mountain for days after being chased off a trail by bears.
Fina Kiefer said there was a moment where she thought she "wasn't going to make it." The 55-year-old hiker had been alone on an Alaska mountain for days after being chased off a trail by bears. She could see helicopters overhead looking for her, but they couldn't find her. She had run out of food and water and was injured from falling. Then the sky opened up and it began to rain. "If the helicopters couldn't see me and I was getting wet, I would come into hypothermia," Kiefer told ABC News in an interview airing Friday on "Good Morning America." "That was my biggest fear," she said. "Then I would never get out."More Related News
