Missing Utah man walks out of Montana mountains alive and well

A Utah man who has been missing in the mountains of Montana since Sunday has been found alive.

Kaden Laga “walked into one of the camps set up and he is healthy and well,” his wife, Arden, posted on Facebook early Friday morning. "He’s well enough to stay the night and fly out in helicopter first thing in the morning where we will meet him where they land."

The Orem man was riding on horseback with several other members of his family in the Twin Lakes area of Ravilli County, Mont., on Sunday afternoon when he became separated from the group. Search and rescue teams had been scouring the area for him since then.
