Hiker Missing For Days Found in Sequoia National Park

A hiker who went missing days ago in Sequoia National Park has been found safe.

The National Park Service says a helicopter on Saturday found 49-year-old Edward Newbegin hiking on a trail.

He was uninjured and was escorted out of the area to reunite with his family.

Newbegin was described as an experienced hiker. He became separated from a group in the Sierra Nevada park on Wednesday and was reported missing after he failed to make a rendezvous.
