John "Giz" Youngerman, 61, became lost about 1 p.m. Friday in the Anderson Chute area, said Summit County Sheriff's Detective Josh Wall. Rescuers found him about 10:30 a.m. Sunday in the King's Peak area.

He was walking at the time he was found. Further details about his condition are not yet available.

Wall joined the group of about five other hikers Friday at the Henry's Fork trail head. He did not know the other hikers prior to Friday. Youngerman got lost when the group broke into two and each smaller group thought he had joined the other. The hikers realized Youngerman was missing when they arrived back at the trail head about 5 p.m. They drove from the remote trail head to make contact with police about 9:30 p.m. At 13,528 feet, King's Peak is the highest spot in Utah.

The search started about 4 a.m. Saturday, and continued Sunday morning with about 30 searchers.
