Searchers on Wednesday located an overdue backpacker after a multi-day search in the Santa Barbara backcountry.

Members of the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Search & Rescue Team had been combing the terrain in Los Padres National Forest behind Santa Barbara and Montecito looking for the man in his 40s, who was due to return on Monday, according to Kevin Hess, a spokesman for the Search & Rescue Team.

The backpacker, whose name was not released, was reported missing after he failed to check in at the appointed time, Hess told Noozhawk.

His vehicle was located at the Romero Canyon/Cold Spring/Forbush trailhead late Tuesday, Hess said.

Teams operated on foot and bicycles, and were assisted in the search by K-9 units and a county helicopter.

Areas searched include Blue Canyon, Forbush Flat, Romero Canyon, Camuesa Road and Gibraltar Reservoir.

The hiker was found uninjured at about 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Hess said, and was taken back to his vehicle.

All Search & Rescue teams were out of the field by 3:30 p.m., he added.
