Thanks to the publicity from the news media that reported the news that 58 year old Martin O' Connor who had been hiking by himself in the Grand Canyon National Park in Grand Canyon Arizona, a National Park Service ranger found Martin in the South Rim of the canyon 11 days after he was reported missing. Martin was found at the South Rim of the park which is open all year by the park rangers after a hiker saw someone who looked like Martin in the area hiking by himself. When Martin was found safe and sound by the park ranger, he was airlifted out of the region of the park to a local hospital where he is being checked out by doctors to see if he is okay. Martin is excepted to make a full recovery since he is in good physical condition to survive 11 days in the canyon region. The National Park Service rangers are suggesting that a hiker should be in the company of another hiker since walking around the Grand Canyon by oneself is a recipe for danger.
