A man missing in Tucson Mountain Park since Saturday night was rescued Monday morning by authorities from several agencies.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department said it received a call at about 7 p.m. Sunday from a residence in the 9700 block of West Calle Anasazi, which is west of the park off of South San Joaquin Road. The caller said a woman had come to the house asking for help.
The 28-year-old woman told deputies that she and her fiance had gotten lost in the park on Saturday night after leaving the Gates Pass area in a wash.
The man, 25, was barefoot and had stopped walking while the woman continued to look for help, eventually reaching the residence Sunday evening.
A coordinated search was conducted by several agencies, including the sheriff's department, DPS helicopter, National Park Service and the Southern Arizona Rescue Association.
