A diabetic hiker who spent the night in Colorado's backcountry and nearly ran out of life-saving medication says she panicked when she was charged by a bear and became lost.
According to Alamosa Volunteer Search And Rescue, the out-of-state woman was hiking at Zapata Falls in the San Luis Valley on August 12 with a partner. She wanted to continue hiking beyond the falls, but her partner did not feel comfortable and stayed behind. After an unspecified amount of time, the partner contacted mountain rescue and reported the woman as overdue.
