MOOSE - A Minnesota man has been found unharmed after getting lost and spending a night outside in Grand Teton National Park.

Rangers found 54-year-old Charles Mastny, of Lakeland, Minn., soaking wet and eating a candy bar late Thursday morning on the upper portion of the Cascade Canyon trail.

Mastny had gone missing on Wednesday.

Grand Teton spokeswoman Jackie Skaggs says Mastny went on a hike by himself while his wife read a book. Skaggs says Mastny was carrying no food, water or equipment and was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, pants and sandals.

Some hikers spotted Mastny the next day and gave him a candy bar. Rangers found Mastny a short time later.
