A hiker who went missing on Mount Seymour has been found safe and sound.
North Shore Search and Rescue said the man arrived at the Mt. Seymour parking lot between 10 a.m. and 11 a.m. Saturday.
He called 911 around 4:30 p.m., saying he was lost near a creek, but the call dropped before he could give any more information on his whereabouts.
NSR spokesperson Don Jardine says crews tried to follow tracks.
Jardine added the search conditions are challenging.
“Some places it’s about 10-15 feet visibility with the fog,” he said. “We were out last night until about 11 with our headlamps in the dark, all you see is fog in front of you.”
North Shore Rescue said the located the hiker Sunday, and extracted him from the field. He is now is safe back at the Seymour SAR station.
Jardine reminds adventure seekers that while it may be summer in Vancouver, it can still feel like it’s winter up in the mountains.
