Snowshoeing

In a photo provided by Mount Rainier National Park, Yong Chun Kim, 66, of Tacoma, smiles after he was rescued Monday, Jan. 16, 2012 on Mount Rainier after being missing since Saturday. He was reported missing on Saturday after he fell down a slope and became separated from a group he was leading in the Paradise area, a popular high-elevation destination on the mountain's southwest flank, about a 100-mile drive south from Seattle. A rescue team reached Yong Chun Kim on Monday afternoon but it took nine hours to bring him from the rugged terrain covered in deep snow to a road, spokeswoman Lee Taylor said late Monday, Jan. 16, 2012.
