B.C. teen girl found after being lost in wilderness for two days

The 16-year-old went missing on Tuesday while hiking at Golden Ears Park.

A missing 16-year-old Langley girl who vanished while hiking in Golden Ears Park has been found alive after more than 50 hours in the wilderness.

Search and rescue volunteers and police have been searching the Maple Ridge park since she went missing on Tuesday.

Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue was leading the search and said they stood down as of 8:30 p.m. on Thursday and were planning to resume the search on Friday.

After 10 p.m. on Thursday, Ridge Meadows Search and Rescue team manager Ryan Smith confirmed that Wang had been found alive.

“She has been located,” he told Glacier Media via email. "She is alive and well, it is a brilliant conclusion."

She had been hiking with three other people through Golden Ears Park and arrived at Steve's lookout around 2:45 p.m. on Tuesday. The group headed back down to the campsite, and after 15 minutes of hiking, the group leader realized Wang was missing. They returned to the lookout to look for Wang but couldn't find her.

The leader headed to the trail entrance to notify a park ranger and police.

More than 40 search and rescue volunteers from all over the Lower Mainland joined the search in the rugged mountainous and forested area on Thursday. Golden Ears Park is one of B.C.’s largest parks at more than 62,000 hectares.
