Hiker Found

The hiker listed as missing in the San Bernardino mountains has been found.

Nathan Freund, 28, was able to give searchers his coordinates thanks to a GPS locating device he carried with him on a hike that began Sunday, said Arden Wiltshire, a spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff's Department.

"Glad to be off the mountain," Freund said after being brought to a command post.

He thanked the rescuers who were "brave enough and risked their own lives to come and get me."

The Sheriff's Department said Freund was uninjured and did not require any medical attention despite spending two nights at an altitude of nearly 9,000 feet at the top of Big Horn Peak.
