76 years old, Doris Anderson was hunting elk with her husband when their truck broke down. They began walking out when they got separated in the woods. Two weeks passed, the hunt had stopped, the memorial service was being planned, when Doris was found by the police, alive and well.
Surviving canyon ordeal
"My mom is much stronger than I ever knew that she was, I thought that she was more fragile than that and she's proved me wrong and I'm glad," she added.
Equally delighted is Mrs Anderson's husband Harold who had carried on looking for help when his wife had become exhausted and decided to try to return to their vehicle.
A disorientated Mr Anderson was later picked up by another hunting group, but they failed to find his wife.
"I thought my wife was dead," Mr Anderson said of the news that his wife was alive. "It's a living miracle, it has to be."
