Missing hiker at Pictured Rocks found

KARA MOORE

MARQUETTE — After an extended nearly five-day search, missing hiker Kara Moore of Milwaukee walked off the trail and into Little Beaver Campground this afternoon.

Moore went missing Friday evening while hiking with her family on the Little Beaver Lake Trail in the Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Moore was OK for having been missing for five days, said Susan Reece, chief of interpretation and education at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore.

Moore is being evaluated at the Munising Memorial Hospital.

For the family, there were “lots of tears,” Reece said.

It’s not clear how the 55-year-old with short-term memory loss found her way back or where she has been the last five days, Reece said.

But once she’s been examined, “Hopefully we’ll be able to find out more,” she added.

“I think we kind of shared everybody’s shock and amazement and joy that she was found and found OK (after) 117 hours,” Reece said.
