A missing 19-year-old hiker from Michigan was rescued in Glacier National Park Monday night after a helicopter team picked up his heat signature.
Matthew Read initially went missing Friday after slipping into a drainage on the eastern side of the park’s Huckleberry Mountain. Falling into deep snow, Mr. Read lost his phone, water bottle and shoes.
Mr. Read was reported missing Sunday after his family back in Michigan reported him overdue. Rangers found his vehicle at a lookout, and the search began. Given Mr. Read’s loss of his shoes and the dearth of supplies, rescuers say he had, despite his slide, fairly good fortune.
