Yosemite National Park hiker missing for six days found alive

An Oakland man who disappeared for six days while hiking in Yosemite National Park last week was found alive, the National Park Service said Friday. KTVU reported that Alan Chow, 36, last was seen Feb. 17 at one of the park’s entrances. However, in part because of the Presidents’ Day holiday, he wasn’t reported missing until Tuesday when a coworker noticed he had not shown up at his office. The National Park Service said Chow was spotted from a helicopter Friday above Wapama Falls in the Hetch Hetchy area. Authorities said he had sustained minor injuries, but was otherwise healthy. Park Ranger Scott Gediman told KTVU that Chow got lost when some of the trails he meant to follow were covered up.
