(KSL News) A BYU student hiking Y mountain almost didn't make it back.
Rick Healey/ Provo Police Department: "He was very fortunate that he had his cell phone and was able to get ahold of the dispatch center so we could zero in on where he was. Had he not been able to do that, it could have been a real tragic situation tonight."
The man had been hiking all afternoon and had become exhausted and disoriented. Rescue workers had to warm him up with a fire and dry clothes before they could bring him back down.
