The parking area of the trail used was checked and the male’s car was located. Rossland Search and Rescue was activated and searched into the night. Police received a call shortly after midnight that the male had contacted his friends via a satellite phone.

The male had got disorientated and found a cabin where another backcountry enthusiast was with the phone. The male hiked out the next day without any issue or injury to themselves or any Search and Rescue personnel.
