A trip into Denali National Park from Alaska went wrong and two women got lost. Fortunately they were found Wednesday evening by a rescue team.

According to The Associated Press, Erica Nelson and Abby Flantz were hiking into Denali National Park when they got lost. They decided to continue hiking. Nelson, 23, said that they “spent a couple of days (doing) 11 hours of hiking” and all they could see were “more mountains.”

The whole unplanned adventure lasted six days and they were found safe and sound, but without food. Apparently they melted snow in order to drink it, because they had no water left. The women spent the nights in their tent and, during the day, they continued hiking Nelson was the optimist and reassured Flantz that things were going to be alright.

The girls were lucky they had a cell phone which allowed them to be located by the park officials. The search began Sunday when they were reported missing from the hotel where they were working, the Denali Princess Wilderness Lodge, about 180 miles north of Anchorage.

Although rescue crews searched about 100 miles, they didn’t find them. It was just after Nelson called her mother from her cell phone, officials became aware of the area where the two women were. Even if the phone battery was weak, park officials managed to locate the signal. They send helicopters but had no luck.

Some hours later, Nelson called again, saying that they saw an airplane to the south of them. Officials narrowed the search area and sent a helicopter to their rescue. This time they located the women and brought them back to safety to meet their family members.

They were all glad the trip ended well and Nelson said she could make it to her sister’s wedding.
