A group of mountain bikers found Heather Wayment, a 46-year-old hiker, who had been missing for two days in the rugged wilderness of Idaho. Wayment was reported missing by her family on September 17, a day after she was last seen in the Prairie Creek area of Blaine County. Her vehicle was found at the trailhead, sparking a multi-agency search effort.

On September 18, brothers Tommy and Vinton Gwinn, along with their friend Shelton Robinson, discovered Wayment in the Camas County wilderness, about 17 miles from her vehicle. The bikers were on their annual biking and camping trip and were unaware of the ongoing search. Wayment was found in her underwear, with bloodied feet, and appeared disoriented and dehydrated.

"We stopped as she was obviously in bad shape," Gwinn told East Idaho News.

The bikers provided Wayment with water and a jacket, and after some time, she revealed her name and that she was lost. While assisting her, three dirt bikers arrived and recognized her as the missing hiker. Using a satellite phone, they contacted 911 and coordinated with rescue crews. A rescue helicopter was dispatched and landed in a meadow half a mile away. One of the dirt bikers transported Wayment to the helicopter, expediting the rescue process.

Wayment was airlifted to St. Alphonsus Medical Center in Boise with unknown injuries. The Blaine County Sheriff's Office expressed gratitude to the bikers for their role in the rescue, stating, "We especially want to thank our Blaine County Sheriff’s Office deputies for their incredible efforts over the past two days, and the mountain bikers who were able to contact law enforcement, guide the Life Flight crew to Heather, and remain by Heather’s side offering aid until medical assistance could arrive."

Her current condition and the circumstances of her ordeal remain unclear.
