Crews responding to a wildfire made a welcome discovery in the rugged backcountry of Garibaldi Provincial Park, north of Vancouver.
A statement from Squamish RCMP says a hiker missing in the park for two weeks has been found safe on Thursday. The search for 33-year-old Daniel Ring began July 9.
Police say he had been dropped off in the park two days earlier for a solo trek, but was reported overdue when he failed to meet up, as planned.
The statement from RCMP says ``there was literal cheer'' in the detachment when members of Coastal Fire reported they had spotted Ring as they helicoptered over the park while responding to a nearby blaze.
Cpl. Angela Kermer did not provide an update on Ring's condition but says police have ``connected him with his family.''
