The kind of thing you have to look at twice before you believe it.

For two days, search crews combed the mountains of central Idaho for hiker Heather Wayment after she failed to return from a trip near the Prairie Creek area of Blaine County .

Her car was found parked at the trailhead, but she seemed to have disappeared without a trace . Family members eventually reported her missing.

The mystery only deepened when she was finally located, not by professional rescuers but by three local bikers who stumbled across her miles from where anyone expected, and in strange conditions .

The missing hiker was ultimately found by Brothers Tommy and Vinton Gwinn, who were on their yearly biking and camping trip with their friend, Shelton Robinson, according to the East Idaho News .

While at the junction of Mule Creek and Big Smoky Creek, the group spotted a figure far from the trail. It was Wayment, seemingly lost, and about 17 miles away from her vehicle.

Her legs were raw and her feet were bleeding. She had even stripped off her shorts in an attempt to wrap them around her injuries.
