Man Found After 5 Nights Lost in Colorado Wilderness

A man from New York with "little winter gear" survived five nights lost in a Colorado park while beset by heavy snow and freezing temperatures, the Denver Post reports. Bryan Skilinski entered Great Sand Dunes National Park and Preserve on Feb. 11. According to a Facebook post from park staff, Skilinski immediately became "disoriented" while hiking in deep snow. He spent the coming days covering many miles while trying to find his car. A search involving nearly 30 people from various agencies was launched Thursday after park staff realized Skilinski's car had been sitting in a parking lot unattended for five days. Skilinski was found a mile and a half from the park's visitor center. Park staff say he was in "relatively good health." (More missing person stories.)
