CHOTEAU, Mont. (AP) — Authorities say a U.S. Forest Service official has found a Pennsylvania man who had been missing in Montana's Bob Marshall Wilderness since Monday.
Rocky Mountain District Ranger Mike Munoz says 21-year-old Eric Hellmuth was found alive on Friday.
The Choteau Acantha first reported the discovery of Hellmuth. The newspaper reports Hellmuth is tired and dehydrated, but in good condition.
A backcountry outfitter reported that Hellmuth walked away from camp northwest of Augusta Monday afternoon and hadn't been seen since. The Bensalem, Pennsylvania resident was participating in a guide and packer school.
The search was being led by the Teton County Sheriff's Office, which did not immediately have any information Friday afternoon.
