Rescue authorities reported that Steve Stephanides, who became disoriented during a hike, faced a storm overnight in the Colorado wilderness before he was found.
Evan Brady from Chaffee County Search and Rescue emphasized that Mr. Stephanides was lucky to survive after being separated and lost in the rugged terrain.
Mr. Stephanides initially hiked with co-workers but became isolated after stopping for a break, leading him to accidentally descend Mount Shavano incorrectly.
Chaffee County, known for its high peaks, presented additional challenges for Mr. Stephanides as he navigated the unclear and rugged trails of the area.
