Tiffany Slaton of Georgia went missing during a blizzard in April while on solo trip through Sierra Nevada

A hiker who went missing for weeks during a solo camping trip in the California wilderness has been found safely, after she became trapped in a blizzard and took refuge in an empty lakeside cabin.

Tiffany Slaton of Jeffersonville, Georgia, was found near a lake in Fresno county, California, after the owner of Vermilion Valley Resort, a lodging site between Yosemite and Kings Canyon national parks, was checking on his property and noticed that one of his cabins was occupied by a woman, according to the Fresno county sheriff's office.
