– A hiker missing in Zion National Park for nearly two weeks has been found alive, her family said Sunday.Holly Courtier, 38, was last seen entering the Utah park Oct. 6. The National Park Service said search and rescue teams found Courtier on Sunday after receiving “a credible tip from a park visitor that they had seen Courtier within the park.” They said Courtier had since been reunited with her family and left the park. In a statement, the family said they were overjoyed she had been found safe. “We would like thank the rangers and search teams who relentlessly looked for her day and night and never gave up hope,” the statement said. “We are also so grateful to the countless volunteers who were generous with their time, resources, and support. Daughter wants help from hikers to help bring mom home.” Courtier’s daughter Kailey Chambers had traveled to Zion to try to find her mother. She told CNN on Saturday that she usually talked to her mother almost every day and was worried when she had not heard from her for well over a week. “This was her dream, to see national parks,” Chambers said. “She lost her job as a nanny due to Covid-19. The family could not afford to keep paying her. She made that a positive thing—said that gave her the time to get out, see the parks.”
